St. Martin's church is a simple rectangular building about 35ft long. It dates from the 13th Century and the stone and flint checkerboard walls are largely original. The scalloped Norman font is a fine example which pre-dates the church.
The village of Fifield Bavant is the smallest in Wiltshire with just two houses – the 18th Century Manor Farmhouse and 17th Century former Rectory – and ten cottages. The adult population is nineteen – just one more than was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. The medieval village, the foundations of which can be seen in the valley to the south and west of the church was considerably larger, with 67 poll tax payers recorded in 1377.
In 2005 Fifield Bavant was one of the locations chosen for the filming of Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightly and Matthew MacFadyen. Part of the location fee was donated to the PCC towards the cost of restoration of the church.

Very late on a sublime early June day...this cloud is being illuminated by the setting sun behind me. Deer Isle, Maine.
While walking through Fort Tryon Park I heard the music and saw this man playing his guitar.
Posted the photo on instagram and one of my contacts (He's also here on flickr Peter I. Fifield Photography )identified the man as actor Gannon McHale. Some of his roles include Mr. Harcourt in "The Gilded Age', Aaron Haddam in the movie "Lincoln". He's also had roles in one episode of "Succession" "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit", "New Amsterdam" and "Madam Secretary" as well as other tv shows, series and movies.
FOXY's Bradley local BR401 has a dozen empty bulkheads headed north through Phillips. Traffic seems to be slowly returning to the Northwoods after Watco started running pulpwood out of Fifield again. When CN left the property in January, the only reason to come up here was to spot LP at Hilgy's.
Fifield, Wisconsin
Built in 1991 by the U.S. Forest Service, the Smith Rapids Covered Bridge spans 90 feet across the South Fork of the Flambeau River. It is the first Town Lattice Truss Bridge to be constructed in Wisconsin in over 100 years. Town Lattice refers to the diamond-shaped truss pattern originally designed and patented by the Town in the 1820s.

"Leisure" is a poem by Welsh poet W. H. Davies, appearing originally in his Songs Of Joy and Others, published in 1911 by A. C. Fifield and then in Davies' first anthology Collected Poems, by the same publisher in 1916.
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
Stand and Stare...W.H.Davies...Please view Large!
Photo taken from the Smith Rapids Bridge which spans the South Fork of the Flambeau River, just off off Hwy 70 west of Fifield. This spot is excellent this time of year, but during black fly season it is killer.
Here is a bit of info from the Price County Wisconsin Website located at co.price.wi.us/397/Smith-Rapids-Covered-Bridge:
Location
The Smith Rapids Covered Bridge is located N14900 Smith Rapids Road, which is 14 miles east of Fifield on State Highway 70 and then north 2 miles on Forest Road 148.
The bridge is located on Wisconsin's Rustic Road 105 in the heart of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and spans the South Fork of the Flambeau River, a popular destination for canoe and kayak enthusiasts when the water levels are high enough, which is typically in the spring and early summer.
Covered Bridge
History
The Smith Rapids Covered Bridge is the only glue-laminated Town Lattice covered bridge in Wisconsin. Constructed in 1991, the bridge uses an attractive diamond-shaped truss pattern, called the Town Lattice. The pattern was patented in the 1820s by its designer, Ithiel Town.
Area Activities
Adjacent to the bridge is the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest’s 16-mile Smith Rapids Saddle Trail, the Smith Rapids Campground, the Smith Rapids Picnic Area which includes a picnic table, grill, drinking water, day-use area, river & stream fishing, carry-in boat access, and vault toilets; there is no garbage service. Snowmobilers can access the bridge off of Price County Snowmobile Trail #101 which makes an excellent scenic backdrop to snap memorable photographs of your ride. ATV, UTV and Off-road Motorcycle riders can visit the bridge by taking Trail #101 to the parking area and gate; from this parking area the bridge is a 5 minute hike through the picnic area.

Built circa 1870-1871, this Italianate-style house was likely built for Benjamin Wadsworth, and was sold to Horace Wadsworth and William Gunn in 1874. In 1875, the house was sold to Hattie McClaran, and her husband, Dr. Thomas M. McClaran, whom expanded the house in 1881. In 1888, the house was sold to John Britton Smith, whom lived in the house until 1897. The house was then owned by Hugh Comstock Harris and Ada Bacon Harris until 1902. The house was then owned by Henry O. Fifield and his family, whom remained in the house until the mid-20th Century, after which the house fell into disrepair, before undergoing a significant restoration project in the late 20th Century. The house is clad in wooden clapboard with a low-pitch hipped roof, bracketed eaves, one-over-one and two-over-two double-hung windows with arched upper sash and decorative window hoods, a front tower with a mansard roof and barrel vaulted dormers, a front porch with stick-and-ball motif trim, turned columns, and an open pier foundation, a two-story bay window, and a two-story rear carriage house. The building is a contributing structure in the Wellington Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
This is a gem photo from Hester Ann Ellingwood Fifield (1820-1895)'s Album.
"A 'gem'; is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. In terms of quantity, the gem was the most prolifically produced form of photograph in the 1860s in America...." -- Marcel Safier, Brisbane, Australia via an Internet Search.

Gram Fifield, and her husband, Edward, were foster parents for my Great-grandmother Rose Ella Andrews after her father died in the Civil War and her mother died soon after. My maternal grandparents saw I was interested in old photos and gave me Gram Fifield's album in the 1960s.

"Potters Patent, March 7, 1865." Red-Faced Man, New Hampshire or Maine? Late 1860s?
"R.W. Potter of New York patented his picture card frame on March 7, 1865 and it is his patented card mount which is most commonly encountered amongst those with any patent markings printed on them.... The form of tintype (also referred to as ferrotype or sometimes melainotype) known as a 'gem'; is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate.

Carousel Buses
Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC
454 - YX70 OLP
Seen on route 37 in Fifield.
Along with some Maidenhead town services, Carousel also commenced operation of what used to be Thames Valley's 16 between Windsor, Dedworth, Fifield and Maidenhead, now part of a long 37 route between Windsor and High Wycombe.
The 37 will be receiving some new E200s matching 451-4, which have now received the Country branding which is a red spinoff of the Flightline livery used on the 102.
The first day of 2020 was so dull and grey, that I did not take any photographs. I spent my time working on my last photos from last decade!

Fifield Bavant (pronounced "Fy-field Bav'nt"), is a very small village and former civil parish in Wiltshire, England, seven miles south west of Wilton, midway between Ebbesbourne Wake and Broad Chalke.
The small Church of England parish church is dedicated to Saint Martin.[1]
The population is now about twenty,[2] although it was 49 in 1831.[3]
The Domesday Book records eighteen men at Fifhide (Fifield Bavant), three servants, nine villeins, and six borderers.[1]
This is reputed to be the 2nd smallest church in the UK ,about 6 people depending on size can fit in just !!
Los Angeles, CA
I read this as "Royale Wilshire" but according to the Los Angeles Conservancy web site, it's the "Wilshire Royale". And, in the past, it was The Arcady.
Great history here. More from the web site:
"Olive Philips, a Los Angeles leader of the anti-liquor Woman's Christian Temperance Union, had the upscale Arcady apartment-hotel built on the site of the Higgins mansion, which was moved down Wilshire to Windsor Square in 1924.
Philips took an apartment herself and advertised the Arcady for people who are accustomed to fine living. A 1928 ad for the Arcady in the Los Angeles Times described deluxe service with "all the work being taken care of by a thoroughly-trained crew of maids, butlers, housemen, pages, valets, laundresses and porters." Rates in 1930 were $5 a day and up for a room and $150 a month for apartments.
The building has since served as a Howard Johnson's hotel and Fifield Manor, a home for elderly members of the First Congregational Church at Lafayette Park."
And it's now the Wilshire Royale -- luxury apartments.
Since the log loadout at Fifield reopened my standard play when passing through the area on a Monday is to find the train there around noon. For various reasons my travels weren't going to allow for that timing or the Fifield routing today. I would be going through Bradley and Prentice.
I all but convinced myself I wouldn't be seeing the train today, instead checking in to see if there were cars switched that morning and staged to go back to Bradley. Arriving at Prentice I was quite surprised to see the train running around its cars at the siding west of the depot. The siding hadn't seen action in quite a while with a foot or two of dense snow drifts along its length. Tied on to the east end of their train BR401 pulls up to the depot where they will perform their air test before leaving town. April 10, 2023.
This photograph was in an unmarked album of 150 photos. Only five photographs were dated—three copies of the same image of Janice Dawe in a sled from 3 April 1920 (she would have been two weeks shy of one year old,) one from Bear Brook New Hampshire dated March 1922, and the last from Northwood New Hampshire on 22 May 1922. Excepting the 1920 picture, the images all appear to be from around 1922 and are centered on the Stuart Guy Fifield family.
David Buck's Fifield Central private railway near Windsor. Former Finnish Railways Class Hr1 Pacific 91016 'Lady Patricia' at speed on the 1524mm (5ft) gauge demonstration line on 31st May 2024. Built by Tampella Ab, Tampere, Finland in 1955 (Works No.946), the former Finnish Railways No.1016 was one of a class of 22 two-cylinder simple superheated design built between 1937 and 1957, numbered 1000-1021, and used on main line passenger work until the wholesale end of steam traction in 1971. No.1016 was taken out of service at Ilsalmi depot on 17th April 1970 and was placed into the country's strategic reserve fleet of steam locomotives. Imported into the U.K. in 1995, she was moved to Fifield in 2009 and was named 'Lady Patricia' by Sir William McAlpine in July 2010. After restoration at Fifield she ran under her own steam again on 28th June 2013. As the largest operational steam locomotive in the U.K. a full overhaul was completed in June 2023, when she was turned out in a striking 'anglicised' lined apple green livery as No.91016.

A northbound Park Falls turn dashes though the snow a few miles south of Fifield, WI. The the news the Flambeau River Papers is shutting down their largest paper machine, this lines future is now in question.
A stop by Fifield reveals a full siding and some big waiting log piles. Nice to see the steadiness of this traffic on the new Fox River and Lake Superior operation. July 17, 2022.
More shots of the sunny, stormy skies of South Wiltshire and North Dorset which we enjoyed on New Year's Day.
I have a feeling this might just become a new favourite copse!

unknown woman old095 I'd labeled this Nan, but not in 1926 when she was only 6 or 7. I think this might be Lillian, who would have been in her thirties.
It's hard to count on much when it comes to RR schedules. I thought I would be shooting the FOXY north of Prentice but finding a full track of empty log cars at Fifield that clearly wasn't happening. Moving on to greener pastures I found this surprise at Weyerhaeuser on the layover stub. Parked power and mid-day light notwithstanding the camo paint job made it worth a stop. I don't really go out of my way for unique paint jobs but I'm not about to pass one up either. Not the most cohesive paint scheme but pretty interesting with a poppy on this side and a yellow ribbon on the other. Good candidate for a proper roster shot. Weyerhaeuser, WI, July 5, 2023.
After a somewhat productive October it was almost a no-train November. Short days, lousy weather, and other priorities had the camera gathering dust. Travelling home at the end of Thanksgiving weekend netted one encounter with the FOXY. Regular service to the pulpwood landing at Fifield helps make their visits pretty predictable. Scheduling our lunch stop where they go to beans before turning back to Bradley provided this catch of a nice former? WSOR SD40-2 at rest on the Ashland Sub. The engineer waits as the conductor has lunch across the street. Grungy weather, a light engine move, and out our schedule made this a one and done. November 28, 2022.
It was a rather inauspicious start for my efforts to record the new Fox Valley & Lake Superior operation. I got an early start from camp that put me at Bradley at 9am on Monday. I had driven through some fairly heavy rains on the way which were just starting to lessen when I got to the yard and found the outbound train wrapping up its assembly before heading west.
Via the grapevine I'd heard they were shipping from Fifield again and was hopeful they would have cars and make that trip today. I was in luck as the train was a mix of empty lumber flats for the mill at Prentice and log cars for the Fifield landing. The rain stopped and the day slowly brightened, not the worst conditions as they would have been coming out of the sun all the way to Prentice had it been clear.
I first set up here at Clifford, my first FOXY action shot. I had checked in at Prentice after the takeover once but it was off hours and no wheels were turning. Not bad, showing off the Soo Line era jointed rail but I was looking forward to the sky clearing off down the line. Turns out I would be bedeviled by the long hood forward, a light engine, and nuisance clouds this day leaving this as one of my better catches but I'll try not to get ahead of myself. June 6, 2022.
