Granada Cathedral was built by Queen Isabella immediately after the conquest of Granada on the site of the Mosque. This cathedral is a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance style. The Cathedral of Granada has impressive facades and a stunning interior with a grand altar and several chapels. It is the 4th largest Cathedral in the world.
Carlos V, always respectful to the memory of his ancestors, made sure that the Cathedral was built in accordance with desires of the Catholic kings.
The first stone of the Cathedral of Granada was laid in 1523 on the site of the ancient mosque. Its architect was Enrique Egas, master of the Old Gothic School. These works, concentrating on the foundations, lasted five years.
Egas was replaced by Diego of Siloam, another Spanish artist trained in Italy. His first decision was to change the Gothic style of Granada Cathedral to the Renaissance style.
He persuade the King to change the style, which was possible because what built Egas was only the foundation.
And herein lies the skill of Siloe, to build a Renaissance cathedral on Gothic foundations.
Granada Cathedral has many chapels of different ages and styles, the most interesting being the chapel of Nuestra Senora de la Antigua.
The Cathedral of Granada was left incomplete in its facade. Of the two towers planned, only one was built one and its height had to be lowered because the foundations for a Gothic cathedral could not sustain the heavy mass of the tower. www.lovegranada.com/monuments/cathedral/
When you consider there were several collieries in the valley it's sad to think that the most significant remnants amount to nothing more significant than old foundations, walls and the odd concrete block!
This photo was taken on the site of the former central coal washery which in turn used to be the Rhondda Main Colliery.

Remains of a railroad bridge over Keys Creek, near Tomales CA. These are steel-wrapped concrete foundations for a two-span steel trestle bridge. It was used by the North Pacific Coast Railroad, which later became the North Shore Railroad, which was then merged into the Northwestern Pacific Railroad.
Officially known as Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford's diocesan church is unique in many ways and a bit of an anomaly amongst English cathedrals, being not only one of the very smallest of the older foundations but also the only cathedral anywhere to also serve as a college chapel (a strange and not entirely easy marriage of roles to the uninitiated visitor as this feels more a part of Christ Church College than the mother church of Oxfordshire Diocese).
Its history is even more varied, having originally been founded as the monastic church of St Frideswide, a community that ended its days prematurely ahead of the Dissolution when Cardinal Wolsey suppressed it in order to implement his plans to turn the site into his newly founded Christ's College. The western half of the nave was demolished as work began on the college quadrangle in its place and the truncated remainder would have followed had the founder's original vision of a new chapel been realised. In the end Henry VIII continued work on the college after Wolsey's demise and it was refounded as Christ Church, retaining St Frideswide's monastic church as the chapel. He also raised Oxford to the seat of a diocese in 1542, initially raising the newly dissolved Osney Abbey (to the west of the city) to the rank of cathedral but only two years later in 1544 that role was transferred to Christ Church and St Frideswide's / Christ Church College Chapel has served the role of Oxford's cathedral ever since. Osney was abandoned and one of the city's grandest buildings (and perhaps a more suitable cathedral in many ways) has sadly has all but vanished today.
Entering the cathedral for the first time can be a slightly bewildering experience, it is unlike any other cathedral in the country in that the exterior of the building is really quite elusive and inaccessible for the most part being surrounded by private areas of the college complex. There is no west facade, this was demolished to build the vast quadrangle through which it is now entered, thus one walks into the east side of the college quad with little sense that one is about to emerge inside a small cathedral. The other main route for visitors sends them via the former monastic cloister on the south side, and this is the only area where the public gets to see the external appearance of the cathedral in any detail, otherwise only the 13th century central tower (rising from a Norman base) with its short spire asserts itself above the masses of the college's various wings and courtyards.
Inside it is clear that this is still largely a cruciform late Norman church, the short nave and choir beyond the crossing both defined by round Romanesque arches of c1180, though here with a surprising twist, with a double row of inner and outer arches into the aisles, one superimposed over the other at different heights, a quite eccentric design. The outstanding architectural feature here however is the choir vault, a stunning early fan vault uniquely designed with lace-like ribs in stellar formation and hanging pendants, the visual climax of the interior. The east wall with its rose window was redesigned in the Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott to replace a large window (a later insertion) that had filled the entire space.
The most interesting area of the cathedral is the collection of chapels that fill the north east corner, the largest being known as the 'Latin Chapel' and containing medieval tombs including the reconstructed base of the former shrine of St Frideswide. There is much 14th century glass in this chapel too, although the very finest ancient glass here is in the chapel off the south transept where the traceries are filled with some of the most beautiful and richly coloured pieces of medieval glass that have survived.
The post medieval glass here however is equally significant and includes a delightful enamel-painted window by the Van Linge brothers, sadly the only complete window of a sequence installed in the early 17th century to have survived the turbulence of the Civil War. Better known is the sequence of Pre-Raphaelite windows designed by Sir Edward Burne Jones, most in his familiarly graceful style but the earliest (the St Frideswide Window) is quite different and full of rich glowing colour.
Exploring the cathedral doesn't take as long as most of its kind owing to the small scale of the building, but a visit isn't complete without taking in the small cloister and the impressive rectangular chapter house on the south side, a vaulted room of c1300 that has notable carvings and surviving medieval paintings in medallions on the vault.
Christ Church Cathedral is a rewarding place to visit, but it can be a little frustrating and less relaxing than most owing to the constant flow of visitors in a relatively small space. Entry to the college isn't cheap and is the only way for non-residents to visit as one cannot view the cathedral in isolation (visitors currently have to follow a pre-set route around the college dining hall before reaching the church). It does make me wonder how this building manages to function as a diocesan church, but whatever the complications it never fails to deliver with its beautiful architecture and stunning glass.

Havent uploaded any work in a while so thought id upload this from todays shoot. Really pleased with it.
Foundations are a new band in my local area, most members have been in a few bands so quite excited to hear some proper stuff from these guys. We've already planned another shoot when some new equipment arrives and im really excited about it!
Anyway, website is coming along nicely, few final touches and it will be ready for your viewing pleasure!

n 1179 the Cistercian monks founded an Abbey at Llantarnam, and in 1205, Llantarnam Abbey and Margam Abbey agreed on a boundary between the two monasteries, which meant that Penrhys was within the boundary of Llantarnam, some 25 miles away. The monks built a grange there, enabling them to care for their land and sheep in the outer regions of their property. The original complex of buildings also included a hostelry maintained by the monks for the pilgrims, and possibly a grange farm house.
Tradition has it that an image of Mary was discovered in an oak tree and, as news spread, crowds of ordinary men and women flocked from far and wide. The statue was thought to have been immovable from the oak tree until a Shrine chapel had been erected on top of Penrhys Mountain, just above the Holy Well. Over the well stands a small stone hut-like structure. ‘White wine runs in the rill,’ said one poet,‘ that can kill pain and fatigue.’
During the time of the Reformation in 1538, the shrine was destroyed and the image seized under cover of darkness. Thomas Cromwell instructed his emissaries to act ‘with quietness and secret manner as might be’ but were confronted by an ‘audience’ who we can assume had to be overawed before the image could be taken away to Chelsea and burned in the same fire as the images of Our Lady of Walsingham and Our Lady of Ipswich. ‘It will not be all day in burning,’ said Latimer in a letter to Cromwell.
Although the Shrine was destroyed, it is recorded by William Llewellyn, writing in 1862, that in the previous twenty years, there were accounts of people making pilgrimages to the top of Penrhys Mountain. The Roman Catholic Archbishop Michael McGrath (1940-1961) furthered the modern popularity of the Shrine. He was anxious to purchase the land on the top of Penrhys Mountain for the Roman Catholic Church in Wales. A statue of Our Lady of Penrhys was erected in 1953 which stands on the foundations of the former chapel. Pilgrimage continues.

This bush is entirely too close to the home. Trees, shrubs, bushes and plants have a root structure that is much larger than the spreading of that planting ever gets above the ground. Usually, that is 2 to 3 times larger than what we see above the ground; but,can be as much as 7 times larger. Additionally, during the winter months and dry spells that we have in our area, roots will search out any moisture they can find. That means they do not just bump into the foundation wall and immediately go in the other direction. They will follow the wall a lot like ivy does above the ground when it imbeds itself and spreads all over the exterior of a home. Please bear in mind when planting, the root system of trees, shrubs, etc. planted too closely to any structure will bring pressure and damage to the foundation over time. Actually, the ivy does affect the exterior of a home also - but that is a story for another time.
A good measure of thumb when planting is to see how large that planting will get above the ground multiply that by how extensive a root system it will need - usually 2 to 3 times the above ground height and width and plant that distance from the foundation of your home. for more information, Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/

This development seems ro be progressing faster than others. The three towers are apparently 90% sold.
I have a copy of a paper read to the Society of Antiquaries in 1908 that tells of past archaeological excavations at Temple Bruer. Dr Oliver (the vicar of the local village of Scopwick) had started to excavate in 1833 and believed he had found evidence of the dastardly deeds of the Knights Templar when he came across what he thought was an immuralled skeleton.
Here is an extract from the paper:
'Temple Bruer, Dr Oliver says [he was the vicar of Scopwick nearby and an amateur archaeologist] is situated in a retired valley on the heath, surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills not far distant from the Hermen-Street [Ermine Street]; and it was connected with that road by a private way winding through a ravine which communicated with the fortified entrance to the Temple, and was visible only from the Warder's tower, which rose out of the centre of the buildings. Westward of the tower stood the church which was accessible by cloistered passages connected with pribcipal buildings by which it was surrounded.
In the years 1832 and 1833, Charles Chaplin, Esq., of Blankney, placed some workmen under my direction for the purpose of excavating the foundations which had been undisturbed on the north and west of the tower. The first excavation was made at the tower, as I confidently expected to find a vault in that situation, because the floor of the lower story is elevated five feet above the ancient surface of the ground. Whatever space might formerly have existed here, it had been filled in; but we came to a narrow subterranean passage, which appeared to take its rise in this vault, and issuing under the north door by a winding passage eastward, passed on to the buildings in that quarter, the very foundations of which have disappeared. The walls of the passage are coated with plaister.
In our researches on the site of the church, we discovered in a perfect state the ancient circular plinth and four feet of the wall, but buried under a vast accumulation of rough and squared stones, a large number of them handsomely carved and polished. Norman columns and capitals; zig-zag and other mouldings, earth and cement, and the tangled roots of large trees which grew amongst the foundations.'
