The city of Calgary is still under serious water use restrictions, not expected to end any time soon. The first day of the disastrous water main break was 5 June 2024.
Three days ago, on 20 June 2024, Summer Solstice, I spent several enjoyable hours driving the backroads SE of Calgary. There were three or four areas or locations that I wanted to revisit, mainly old barns. I hadn't really thought about getting as far as Mossleigh, but with a sky full of clouds, it seemed the right kind of day to photograph the three beautiful old grain elevators.
My day started off with a spur-of-the-moment stop at two of my favourite old barns. Just a quick few photos and off I went, driving further southwards. Once I left the highway, I was free to explore quite a few of the rough, gravel back roads. It was a good feeling knowing that I had finally got my winter tires taken off my car the day before, plus an inspection of my vehicle.
One road I drove along had such a great variety of birds, including a Swainson's Hawk, that stayed on its fence post just long enough for me to get two shots through the windscreen, which, as usually happens, with an unpleasant greenish tinge. Most Swainson's that I see tend to stay around longer. Other birds seen along this road were several Eastern Kingbirds, including one that was actually perched in a tree, not on a fence post or balancing on barbed-wire. I was happy to see a Western Meadowlark, too, especially as it stayed for a while. The best sighting along this road was when I noticed a teeny white speck on the fence way down the road. Couldn't tell what it was until I zoomed in on my camera. To my delight, it was a Loggerhead Shrike. I knew that it would fly off if I got anywhere near to it, so I made do with a zoomed shot.
A quick stop at a favourite location of mine turned up a Yellow-headed and a Red-winged Blackbird, plus a few more Eastern Kingbirds. Only saw two Vesper Sparrows all day.
Hoping that the sky would not change too much before I eventually reached the hamlet of Mossleigh and its row of grain elevators, I enjoyed taking a few photos of these impressive oldies.
An absolute favourite old barn was my last stop before heading home. The clouds were less impressive by the time I reached the spot, but at least there were a few white ones.

Because who expects to spend their day like this? In China, many of the homes have aquariums - feng shui requires it. But the business end of the pet market is still a little more nacent. We stumbled across an open air market where any number of pets were for sale, including a large number of fish, in bag, hanging from metal frames. Can't be good for the fish, but I'll tell you - all the fish for sale looked healthier than most US pet stores.
I find the entire Victorian etiquette expected of some Steam Punks laughable.
There was a long discussion on Live Journal where a woman complained that no men gave up their seat to her at a Dragoncon panel because she was dressed uncomfortably (corset, heels and a skirt).

If I'm going to be expected to act like a Victorian man, than I expect the woman to do the same. If you wear a corset heels and skirt and are complaining about it, go back to your hotel room and change... or shut up.
I did a maternity shoot of my friend. This was a fun pose on the stairs :) I used holly's defog and sparkle eyes actions.

SoĆ¢Ā¦I finally get to go to Meat & Shake, and I am quite glad that I did. There is quite a lot more to them than I expect there to be, and they certainly deliver on the promise of MEAT and SHAKE (one after another - shake first, obviouslyĆ¢Ā¦). In a nutshell, it's a casual, American style diner/smokehouse ('smokehouse' is mos def a thing now). The first opened back in August 2013, in Tooting - I had already heard tales of its popularity and some good things from people who've visited (i.e near continual lines stretching outside the restaurant, and something they serve called 'dirty fries', usually referred to in hushed tones, etc etc). True, said lines could partly be down to the fact that Meat & Shake don't take reservations - but as you shall soon see, there's more to it than that...
Onto the food then. Meat & Shake's website proclaims - Ć¢The burger is omnipotent and irresistible, it can never be weakened.Ć¢ This is probably true. I like that they don't take themselves too seriously. However, like any good burger place, they DO take their meat very seriously. Their burgers are minced daily from 35-day aged beef - and is also sourced from Selfridges butcher, Mackens Brothers of Chiswick (who I am pretty also look after a few of the Marriott's steakhouses). Speaking of Marriott steakhouses, I'm going to blame the delicious/filling shake (and the fact that it was Tuesday) for why I skip on the opportunity to consume a 1.5kg tomahawk steak. YEAH they actually do fucking tomahawk steaks!? Dayummmmm. Also I'm not sure Lizzie is ready to witness such a thing.
One thing that might not be immediately obvious about Meat and Shake that they're also much known and much loved amongst the Muslim community (having made a show at the Halal food festival etc). Which means that everything on the menu is ABSOLUTELY HALAL (good memes never die, only the actors that play them...). So, no pork or alcohol is served on the premises - though there's quite a selection of virgin cocktails and I believe they use turkey for the bacon. All in all? Prices are reasonable, steaks are legit, staff are chill, and taxidermy animals with weapons are an added plus. The place isn't yet as busy as it's sister in Tooting Bec but I reckon once it's been here a little longer, Ealing's meaty masses will meet here, en masse (DO you SEE what I DID there?!).
Now for us to try the one that opens in Watford's Harlequin Centre in the very near future - and maybe get a delicious tomahawk...

Wednesday, and a day of changed plans.
We were due to go to an evening event in Essex at a NT place, but we forgot I had a church tour to lead in the afternoon.
So, we moved the tickets to Thursday.
And then there is Scully. We can't really expect someone, a neighbour or friend to take on the responsibility to measure her blood sugars, administer the insulin jab and then feed her, and adjust the insulin depending on the readings.
Heck even for us there is a certain amount of guess work.
So, the only thing was for Jools to go on Thursday and me stay home and look after he cats. Scully in particular, thus leaving Wednesday free for churchcrawling and now able to go to Bridge.
I dropped Jools off first thing near the castle, so she could walk through Connaught Park to the Riverside Centre for her keep fit class, and get some steps in.
After dropping her off, I go back along Reach Road and the cliffs back home.
I have time for a brew, breakfast, and wash up before I have to leave for another new part of Kingsdown.
Off what counts as the main road into the village, down a side lane, then along a gravel private road, to a large detached house where Margaret lives.
She is hosting this week, and my first time here. There is a nasty flu going round, and much of the group is infected or unwell.
I have my crib sheet for bidding, as there are a myriad of bidding conventions. I try to get things right.
In fact, thanks to the sheet I do well, and so my partner and I make two tricky contracts either side of the tea break.
All U3A activities revolve round tea and cake. Just so you know.
And then it is time to head home, where Jools had just arrived from town via train and bus, from the heart of Chaplins where she's had a small breakfast, so wasn't hungry.
I quickly made cheese on toast with slices from the ciabatta loaf I got out to go with the soup. Had a brew, then off to Deal to collect Martina, as she is disabled and cannot drive far.
I make it to her house with half an hour to spare, so listen to a podcast to while away the time.
There'd be no point in going early as we would have to wait for the rest of the group to arrive.
We set off at quarter past one, and make it to Waldershare by twenty to two. You reach the church up a small muddy track, which leads to a small "car park" near the lych gate.
Within ten minutes, six more cars arrive, ore than possibly have ever visited the church, filling the car park.
I gather the group to welcome them to the church. Look at the triple gable, I say, pointing to the flint nave and brick built north and south chapels, of the same dimensions.
We go inside, and the church is how John Vigar describes: austere, with a high roof, Victorian Chancel. And on either side, wooden screens leading to the two chapels.
In the south is a large tomb with two figures on top, holding hands through eternity. It is an unusually intimate representation, not often seen.
In the north is a memorial so large, the chapel itself was built around it, and it fills the space.
On each corner are four full sized mourning women, naked of course. And above two layers with winged cherubs, also mourning.
Higher up, near the roof, are vases or urns, and what may be a flame, in stone, at the top.
It is remarkable.
And thankfully the group thinks the church is remarkable too.
I worrried that a small estate church wouldn't have enough of interest, but the memorials showed that something like this church, a place they all had driven past dozens of times over the year, was worth half a hour or anyone's time.
After forty five minutes, we leave, and I take Martina back to Deal, then drive back along The Strand and out through Walmer to home.
No roadworks.
Once home and after a brew, I made dinner: minted lamb, roasted vegetables, pan-fried wilted kale (I'm not a fan), and some ancient grains.
When I arrived home, the local fox was under the feeders munching on peanuts. He was so hungry that as I stood to watch, he just carried on eating.
So I went inside, got the big lens out and took a hundred or so shots.
It was good. Apart from the kale.
For the evening there was football. On the telly, WBA v Brum, and an entertaining 1-1 draw it was, whilst Liverpool lost 4-1 at home to PSV and Arsenal put Bayern to the sword, 3-0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The church stands within the grounds of Waldershare Park and is not easy to find. Through a lychgate, in a tree-shaded churchyard, the three eastern gables may be seen. The centre one is of natural flint, whereas the outer two are of brickwork, and these sum up the charm of this church - one of contrasts. The nave was almost rebuilt in the nineteenth century and you could almost imagine it belonging to a suburban church of the 1870s. The roof is high, the walls are bare and the character rather austere. The chancel, too, has a Victorian feel with a heavy marble reredos and stencilled walls. Leading off to north and south of the chancel are the brick chapels which we noted on the outside. The south chapel is the earlier, dating from 1697, and contains the tomb chest of Susan Bertie. The same tomb also commemorates Montague, Earl of Lindsey, who was loyal to Charles I, and is noted as 'having attended his sacred Majestic to his grave and giving him a Christian burial at Windsor after his barbarous and horrid murder'. The north chapel was built in 1712 to accommodate the monument to Sir Henry Furness who built the present mansion house in the park. This monument only just fits into its chapel and rises in stages like a wedding cake, with four life-sized broken-hearted ladies at the base for starters. As a conversation piece it is unrivalled in a country church. The church is no longer used and is in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust.

WALDERSHARE
Is the next parish southward from Betshanger lastdescribed, being written in the book of Domesday, Walwaresere, and in some other antient records, both Walworthshire, and Walwareshare, taking its name most probably from the worlds, or open downs, among which it is situated. A borsholder is appointed for this parish, including the district of Apulton, at the court leet of Waldershare manor.
THIS PARISH is situated in a healthy country, among the high hills near the eastern boundary of the county, next the sea, from which it is distant about five miles, and near as many from Dover. It lies about a mile and an half northward of the great London road, and extends about two miles from north to south, but it is very narrow across the other way. It contains in the whole about 1000 acres of land, the rents of which are about 600l. per annum. The whole parish belongs to the earl of Guildford, except ing Southwood and Heasleden down; London close, part of Linacre court, and Appleton. There are eight houses in it, besides one in the district of Appleton, which is entirely separated from the rest of it by the parishes of Norborne and West Langdon intervening, as has been already noticed. In the southern part of it is Waldershare park, well cloathed with trees, having the house in the vale nearly in the centre, and the belvidere at the south-west corner, on high ground, with a beautiful prospect from it, the whole of it stands much in need of modern taste and improvements. The church is situated near the middle of the eastern side of the parish. At the northern boundary is Malmains farm, (the antient mansion of that family in this parish, though now only a mean farm-house, belonging to the earl of Guildford) and an open uninclosed down, called Maimage down, corruptly for Malmains down. The country here has much the same face and soil as those of the neighbouring parishes, a wild and mountainous aspect, and a poor chalky soil. There is a fair held here on WhitTuesday yearly, for toys and pedlary.
WALDERSHARE, at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, in the 15th year of the Conqueror's reign, was part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, the king's half-brother, of whom it was held by Ralph de Curbespine; accordingly it is thus entered in that record, under the general title of the bishop's lands:
In Estrei bundred. Ralph de Curbespine bolds of the bishop two sulings in Walwaresere. The arable land is . . . . In demesne there is one carucate and an half, and fourteen villeins, with two carucates and an half. Of this land, Robert has half a suling, and one carucate there. In the time of king Edward the Confessor, it was worth seven pounds and ten shillings, and afterwards fifty shillings, now seven pounds. Wluuard held it of king Edward.
Four years afterwards the bishop was disgraced, and all his possessions were consiscated to the crown; soon after which, upon the king's new arrangement of Dover castle, this manor, among other lands, was assigned to Gilbert Magminot, for his assistance in the defence of it, and together made up the barony of Magminot, being held by barony of Dover castle, by the service of performing ward there from time to time.
Of the Magminots, and their descendants the Sayes, the chief lords of the seignory, this manor was again held by the family of Malmaines, of eminent account in these parts, who were possessed of manors called after them, in Alkham, Pluckley, and Stoke; their residence in this parish likewise being called by their name. John de Malmalnes is recorded in the Battle abbey roll, as having accompanied the Conqueror to England, and to have been present at the battle of Hastings, being standard-bearer to the Norman footmen. From him descended the several branches of this family seated in different parts of this county, who were many of them men eminent for the offices of trust and honour, which they at different times held. They bore for their arms, Ermine, on a chief, gules, three right hands couped, argent; which shield is carved in stone in several places on the roof of the cloysters of Canterbury cathedral. Several of this family lie buried in the Grey Friars church, in London. From the permanency of them here, not only their mansion in this parish acquired the name of Malmaines, (fn. 1) but the manor itself became stiled in records, WALDER SHARE, alias MALMAINES.
From John de Malmaines above-mentioned, who first held this manor in the reign of the Conqueror, it descended down to Henry Malmaines, esq. of Waldershare, who died possessed of it in the 46th year of king Edward III. leaving an only daughter and heir Alice, but it seems she inherited only a part of this manor and estate, which she carried in marriage to Henry Holland, of Solton, near Dover, and he died possessed of her interest in it, in the 19th year of king Richard II. leaving Jane his daughter and heir, married to Thomas Goldwell, of Godington, in Great Chart, who entitled her husband to it, and from him it descended down to his grandson of the same name, who, about the beginning of king Henry VI.'s reign, alienated his part of it to John Monins, esq. who had before become possessed of the other part of this manor, by his marriage with the daughter and heir of Colby, who inherited this estate in right of his wife, daughter and heir of Thomas, son of John Malmaines, of Stoke, who was related to Henry Malmaines before-mentioned, on whose death in 46 Edward III. it descended to him, so that he became then possessed of the whole of this manor.
John Monins, or Monyn, as the name was sometimes spelt in antient deeds, was descended from Sir Simon de Monyn, of the castle of Mayon, in Normandy, who attended William the Conqueror in his expedition into England, and bore for his arms, Gules, three crescents, or, the coat-armour of his descendant at this time. John Monins, esq. afterwards resided at Waldershare, where he built a new mansion, about a mile south-eastward from the antient house of Malmaines, in which he afterwards resided, as did his descendants down to Sir William Monins, of Waldershare, who was created a baronet in 1611. He died in 1643, and was succeeded in title and estate by his eldest son Sir Edward Monins, bart. of Waldershare, who served the office of sheriff in the 21st year of king Charles I. and died possessed of this manor and estate in 1663, leaving five daughters his coheirs. On his death, this manor and seat devolved on his two eldest daughters and coheirs, Susan, married to Peregrine Bertie, second son of Montague, earl of Lindsey; and Jane to John, son and heir of Sir Norton Knatchbull, bart. the former of whom left two daughters and coheirs, Mary, married first to Anthony Henley, esq. of the Grange, in Hampshire, father of the lord chancellor, earl of Northington; and secondly, to Henry Bertie, third son of James, earl of Abingdon; and Bridget to John, lord Powlet, afterwards created earl Powlet. On the death of Susan, the eldest daughter and coheir above-mentioned, late wife of Peregrine Bertie, deceased, who seems at her death to have been possessed of the whole of this manor and estate, it became vested in her heirs and trustees, for the use of her two daughters and coheirs, and they, in the reign of king William and queen Mary, joined in the sale of it to Sir Henry Furnese, bart. of Waldershare, who rebuilt this seat, after a design, as it is said, of Inigo Jones, and inclosed a park round it, which he planted in an elegant manner with avenues, according to the taste of that time.
Sir Henry Furnese was the eldest son of Henry Furnele, of Sandwich. His next brother, George Furnese, was in the East-India Company's service, whose son Henry Furnese was of Gunnersbury house. He died in 1712, leaving by his first wife Anne, daughter of Robert Brough, esq. one son Sir Robert Furnese, bart. His second wife was Matilda, widow of Anthony Balam, esq. by whom he had a daughter Matilda, married to Richard Edgcumbe, afterwards created lord Edgcumbe.
Sir Henry Furnese, the eldest son, became a capital merchant, and by his industry and abilities rose to eminence, wealth, and honours. Being always active, and zealous in support of the Revolution, he was favourably distinguished by king William, and the Whigs in general, and the ministry patronizing him, it gave him weight and consequence, and served to enable him in the various branches of trade which he carried on, the more speedily to acquire those riches which he afterwards accumulated. He served the office of sheriff of London in 1701, and was in 1707 created a baronet. At his death he bequeathed a handsome legacy for charitable uses to the several parishes in Sandwich, as may be further seen in the description of that town. He bore for his arms, Argent, a talbot bound, seiant, within a bordure, sable
Sir Robert Furnese, bart. his son, resided here, and died possessed of this manor and seat in 1733, being at that time knight of the shire for this county. He had been three times married, first to Anne, daughter of Anthony Ealam, esq. by whom he had a daughter Anne, who married the hon. John St. John, second but at length only surviving son of Henry, viscount St. John, and after his death lord viscount St. John; Sir Robert married secondly, the hon. Arabella Watson, one of the daughters of Lewis, lord, afterwards earl of Rockingham, by whom he had Henry, his successor in title and estates; and Catherine, afterwards married to Lewis, earl of Rockingham; lastly, he married lady Anne Shirley, daughter of Robert Shirley, earl Ferrers, by whom he left an only surviving daughter Selina, married to Edward Dering, afterwards Sir Edward Dering, bart. Sir Henry Furnese, bart. survived his father but a short time, dying abroad in 1735, under age, and unmarried, and this, among the rest of his estates, by virtue of the limitations in his grandfather's will, became vested in his three sisters, as the daughters and coheirs of his father Sir Robert Furnese, in equal shares and proportions, in coparcenary in tail general. After which, by a decree of the court of chancery, at the instance of the parties, anno 9 king George II. a writ of partition was agreed to, which was confirmed by an act passed specially for this purpose next year, by which this manor and seat, with Malmaines and other premises in this parish, were allotted to Catherine, wife of Lewis, earl of Rockingham, who died s.p. in 1745, leaving her surviving, who then became possessed of this estate again in her own right. She afterwards married Francis, earl of Guildford, by whom she had no issue, and dying in 1766, devised it, among the rest of hereestates, to her surviving husband, who died in 1790, and was buried at Wroxton, in Oxfordshire, beside the countess his late wife. He was the only surviving son of Francis, lord Guildford, and by the death of William, lord North and Grey, succeeded as his heir to the former of those titles, the latter becoming extinct, bearing the title of. Lord North and Guildford; and on April 8, 1752, he was further advanced to the title of Earl of Guildford, in Surry. He married first Lucy, daughter of George, earl of Halifax, by whom he had Frederick, who became his heir; his second wife was Elizabeth, relict of George, viscount Lewisham, by whom he had two daughters, whom he survived, one of whom, Louisa, married to John Peyto, lord Willoughby de Broke; and a son Brownlow, now lord bishop of Winchester, who married Miss Banister. He married thirdly, Katherine, Countess of Rockingham, as above mentioned, who died s.p. Upon the earl of Guildford's death in 1790, in his 87th year, he was succeeded in titles and estate by his eldest son Frederick, lord North, and knight of the garter, who became (the second) earl of Guildford, a nobleman well known as having continued the prime minister of this country during the late unhappy American war. He died in 1792, in London, being at that time lordwarden of the cinque ports and constable of Dover castle, lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum of Somersetshire, chancellor of the university of Oxford, recorder of Gloucester and Taunton, &c. He was buried in the family vault at Wroxton; the whole university attending the funeral procession with great solemnity as it passed through Oxford. His Lordship married Anne, daughter of George Speke, esq. of Dillington, in Somersetshire, by whom he left three sons and three daughters; the former were, George-Augustus, Frederick, and Francis; the latter were Caroline, the eldest, married to Sylvester Douglas, esq. and Anne and Charlotte who are unmarried. The eldest son, GeorgeAugustus, succeeded him in title, and in this estate and seat of Waldershare, being the present right hon. the earl of Guildford, who first married Miss Hobart, daughter of the earl of Buckinghamshire. She died in 1794, leaving only an infant daughter Maria.āHe married secondly, in 1796, the daughter of Mr. Thomas Coutts, banker, of London, by whom he has two daughters.
In the house of Waldershare was a portrait of Sir Robert Furnese, by Carlo Maretti, painted at Rome, and there is now a portrait of him there, marked F. T. his hand resting on a book, intitled Monumenta Romana. There are there likewise two family pictures by Sir Godfrey Kneller; the one of Sir Robert Furnese with his first wife and their daughter; the other of Sir Robert and his second wife, with their son Henry and daughter Catherine. (fn. 2)
A court leet and court baron is held for this manor of Waldershare.
The earl of Guildford bears for his arms, Azure, a lion passant, or, between three fleurs de lis, argent. For his supporters, Two dragons, sable, scaled, ducally gorged and chained, or; and for his crest, on a wreath of its coloursā A dragon's head erased, sable, scaled, ducally gorged and chained, or.

APULTON is a district esteemed to be within this parish, though separated from the rest of it by a part of the parishes of Norborne and West Langdon in tervening. It is situated northward from the other part of Waldershare, and appears by the survey of Domesday to have been at that time part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in it:
The same Ralph (de Curbespine) holds of the bishop, Apletone. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is . . . . . In demesne there are two carucates, with six borderers. In the time of king Edward the Consessor, it was worth one hundred shillings, and afterwards ten shillings, now forty shillings. Ascored held, it of king Edward.
Four years after the taking of the above survey, the bishop of Baieux was disgraced, and all his possessions were confiscated to the crown; soon after which, both these manors were granted by the king to Gil bert Magminot, for his assistance in the defence of Dover castle, being held by the service of ward to it, and with other lands made up the barony of Magminot. Of the family of Magminot and their heirs, these manors were again held by the eminent family of Malmains, who continued in the possession of them, down to Henry Malmains who joining with Simon, earl of Leicester, in rebellion against king Henry III. would have forfeited all his lands, had not the abbot of the adjoining monastery of Langdon interceded for him and gained his pardon; for which service his descendant, Sir John Malmains, through gratitude, gave the two manors of Apleton and Southwold, by his will, after the death of Lora his wife, who held them in dower, to the above-mentioned monastery, (fn. 3) and they both continued in the abbot's possession till the Ist year of king Richard III. when the abbot exchanged Southwood with Robert Monins, esq. for other lands elsewhere; but Appleton was, on the suppression of the abbey, in the 27th year of king Henry VIII surrendered into the hands of the crown, together with the rest of the possessions of the monastery; and the king seized on Southwood, then in the possession of Edward Monins, esq. as part of them, and unjustly alienated from it, and afterwards granted both Apleton and Southwold, among other premises, in his 29th year, to the archbishop of Canterbury, who in the Ist year of queen Elizabeth exchanged Appleton again with the crown, but he retained Southwood, which has ever since continued part of the possessions of that see, and remains so at this time.
BUT THE MANOR OF APPLETON, or Appulton, as it is sometimes written, was afterwards granted to Sir Edwin Sandys, of Northborne, in whose descendants it continued, till it was at length passed away to Wickenden; and Robert Wickenden, gent. of Dover, died possessed of it in 1686, and by his will gave it to his son of the same name, whose descendant Mr. Nicholas Wickenden, of the same place, dying without issue about sixty years ago, devised it to his servants, who sold it to Mr. Samuel Billingsley, of London, whose widow marrying Richard Crickett, esq. entitled him to the possession of it, and he continues the present owner. There is not any court held for this manor.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly maintained are about six, casually four.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
The church, which is dedicated to All Saints, is a small mean building, consisting of a body and chancel, having a wooden turret at the west end, in which hangs one bell. It is almost overgrown with ivy. There are two additional buildings on each side the chancel, each of which communicates with the church by a door broken through the walls of it. That on the north side has in it a most magnisicent pyramidical monument, erected by Sir Robert Furnese, bart. in memory of his father Sir Henry Furnese. Four female figures, in white marble, as large as life, support the bale; on the four sides of which are inscriptions to the memories of Sir Robert his father, his sister Matilda, his three wives, his son Henry, and his daughters Anne and Catherine, all buried here; the whole finely executed by Mr. Greene, of Camberwell. In the building, on the south side, is a large altartomb, on which are the figures of a man and woman, made out of all proportion, and conspicuously absurd, and an inscription to the memory of the honorable Susan Bertie, fourth daughter and coheir of Sir Edw. Monins, bart. of Waldershare, and wife to the hon. Peregrine Bertie. Over it are banners, pendants, &c. In the chancel, against the south wall, is a monument for Sir Edward Monins, and Elizabeth his wife, obt. 1602; also for Sir William Monins, bart. of Waldershare, his son and heir, obt. 1642; and for his wife Jane, daughter of Roger Twysden, esq. of Roydonhall, in Peckham, in Kent, obt. 1640, and two of their children. Near it are two grave-stones, pointing out the burying-places of Sir William Monins and his wife, lady Jane; and for Edward, eldest son of Sir Edward Monins, bart. obt. 1640. In the east window are painted several female figures, which seem singularly indecent, at any rate very improper, for the place. In the body is a memorial for Laurence Wright, A. M. vicar of this parish and Elmsted, obt. 1707; arms, A chevron, between three batchets. A memorial for Robert Greenall, A. M. late vicar of this parish and rector of Blackmanstone, and curate of Nonington and Wimlingswold, obt. 1770.
Ā¶The church of Waldershare was antiently appendant to the manor, and continued so, till one of the family of Malmaines gave it to the neighbouring abbey of West Langdon, to which it was appropriated by archbishop Walter Reynolds, in the 16th year of Edward II (fn. 4) In which state it continued till the suppression of that monastery, in the 27th year of king Henry VIII. when it came with the rest of the possessions of it, into the king's hands, whence this appropriation, together with the advowson of the vicarage, was afterwards granted to the archbishop of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it continues at this time. The appropriation is demised on a beneficial lease. The Monins's were formerly lesses of it, afterwards the Furneses, and now the earl of Guildford.
In the time of king Edward III. there were of the endowment of this church, one messuage, one garden, and nine acres of arable. It is valued in the king's books at 5l. 8s. but is now a discharged living, of the clear yearly value of twenty-five pounds.
In 1588 here were thirty-three communicants. In 1640 here were the like number, and it was valued at thirty-eight pounds. Archbishop Juxon augmented this vicarage twenty pounds per annum, anno 14 king Charles II. There is no vicarage house, and only one acre of glebe land, adjoining to the church-yard; but by the king's books it appears there were formerly two acres.

Tobacco :
A highly disproportionate Government taxation is forced on the purchasers of a singled out long time publicly sold legal product ? Tobacco users must now pay the equivalent of over 4 times the amount of Government sin tax on their product as do the users of alcohol pay tax on their product even though stats show that alcohol use ranks twice as much in cost to society due to substance use as does tobacco ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

A stifling, superfluous, unimaginable and shocking Sin Tax has been placed on cigarettes ? The Maders street window in downtown Kentville is allowed to display Government gambling ads but not the product he's been selling for the last 50 years, and so Maders has instead posted a sign that reveals the massive Government Sin Tax that is currently being charged to the customer on their purchases of tobacco ? He was later ordered to take this information down ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/9344935900
When legally purchasing a tobacco product you are now charged a Government Sin Tax at a proportional rate equivalent to over 4 times more than charged on alcohol even though the alcohol product is far more destructive and far more costly to society ? The extreme difference in taxation and the obvious discrimination shown against one legally sold product over another is a direct result of many years of lobbying by those who are biased against smoking but do not appear to have a problem with other more harmful bad habits such as smoking marijuana, alcohol, junk food, obesity, energy drinks, gambling, etc ? Over the years there's been loads of one product only negative misinformation and gaslighting submitted by the lobby in order to stack their case that has served to convince and encourage Government (s) to levy outrageous sin taxes on the lone product lobbyists have chosen to singularly target ? Consequently, has the fair and normal progression of the placement of a tax on a product by a Government(s) been negatively influenced by discrimination, bias and an attack aimed at one consumer product only ? And, has the biased outside interference now caused an extraordinarily harsh and unjust taxation to be imposed on a long time legally sold product and on certain Canadian citizens ? And would such an unfortunate and very unfair discriminatory situation constitute a form of harassment or a form of consumer fraud against this injured group of Canadian citizens ? A Class action tax recovery suit and an application for a fair share of the recent 24 billion dollar tobacco reclamation suit to compensate consumers for large financial losses is being considered ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

Stats Canada data says it has accounted for 25 per cent of the deaths in 2022, however more people than ever are now surviving. Researchers projected there will be 247,100 new cancer diagnoses and 88,100 cancer deaths in 2024, up from last year ?

May 31, 2023 - Canada has created a brand new Cabinet position called Minister of health and Addictions, and Carolyn Bennett has started off with yet another repeated attack on tobacco by ordering that 50 additional dire warning messages ( 25 in French and 25 in English) must be placed on or within the cigarette package that is already overcrowded with many dire warnings and graphic pictures ? This is getting interesting ? First they favor alcohol products by giving them a generous 4 times the Sin Tax break over tobacco products, and then they create and pass legislation that legalizes and enables smoking cannabis, and then they create more legislation in Bill C-218 that will open the flood gates to enable legal at home and mobile phone sports parlor betting and casino gambling as never before seen or imagined in Canada - And then after aiding, abetting and enabling all of these social vices through new Liberal legalization, they will then create a Cabinet position called the Minister of mental health and addictions, and her first order of business is to once again go after tobacco while ignoring and never mentioning sports parlor betting, on-line gambling, marijuana or alcohol ?

Ottawa May 31, 2023 - Canada has made history, (and the Guinness book of records) ? The Canadian Government has ordered that 50 new dire warnings be placed on or inside cigarette packages that are already 75% covered with multiple warnings and graphic images and must always be hidden away from public view in drawers in stores ? Meanwhile the number 50 also just happens to be the same number of new at-home on-line gambling las vegas style gambling casinos and sports betting parlors that quickly opened for business in Canada following this same Liberal Government's recently enacted Bill C-218 ?

Each year the Province of Nova Scotia publishes an official Government financial statement showing tax revenue collected from sales of Sin Tax legal adult recreational products. The Sin Tax products listed are : alcohol ( NSLC sales ), tobacco, gambling (Atlantic lotto/casino), and, now Cannabis (NSLC ) ?

This would be equivalent to 4 times more Provincial tax now being charged to the smoker as that being charged to the alcohol purchaser ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

'Let's just blame it all on smoking ? easy,,,,,,eh !'
Stats Can, October 16, 2017 - The Conference Board of Canada says that although the number of actual smokers have decreased dramatically, the deaths and health care costs attributed to smoking are still increasing dramatically ? They explain that the reason for the paradox may lie in the way they compute statistics. Calculations include all lifetime sickness and negative health problems (both physical and mental) that are ever incurred by the smoker in an entire lifetime even if they had quit and are a non smoker ? And so, even if you happened to smoke at one time or another in life and quit, all of your health issues and illnesses experienced in your lifetime will be seen by them as caused by smoking ? And so, for example, If an ex smoker dies naturally at say age 80, his death and all of his lifetime sickness and negative medical issues even if a non smoker for 50 years are viewed by them as being caused by smoking ? www.cbc.ca/news/business/smoking-economic-cost-1.4357096

Global news 2023 - It seems strange that although smoking and smokers are way down, Rob Cunningham's Canadian Cancer Society says deaths per year caused by smokers are way up ? They also claim that 1 in 3 cancer cases in Canada are still being caused by these same smokers ? Given that in the last 10 years the actual number of smokers has gone down by half, it was interesting when Cunningham and the Minister of Health said recently that in 2022 there were a whopping 46,000 deaths related to smoking ? This is 10,000 or 30% more than it was 10 years ago in 2011 when there were only 36,000 deaths reported caused by smokers even though there were twice as many smokers smoking then ? And so the 46,000 deaths related to smoking figure used in 2022, 23, 24, 25, and 26 don't make any sense ? Are these numbers misinformation and are they being exaggerated and manipulated in order to get the results wanted ? globalnews.ca/video/10194704/tobacco-free-generation-the-...

Or, what if they were to spin : You're 'good' if you drink but You're 'great' if you safe drink this number of drinks every day, or, you're 'good' if you smoke cigarettes but You're 'great' if you safe smoke by only smoking so many cigarettes per day, or , you're 'good' if you smoke pot but you're 'great' if you only do this many grams per day ? ref, "All those sports betting ads you're seeing,, It's illegal says the Alberta gaming commission ?" www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728
