Gable End is one of the most remote places in Victoria. An 6 hour hike in from Mc Farlanes Saddle car park in the Avon Wilderness area
My solution for supporting the gable end - 3/4" conduit bent in 90's down the sites, and slightly upward for the gable end.
The information is from the Southwell DAC Church History website and information sheet.
Domesday Book’s Norman French calls Thoroton ‘Torrertune’, and states that it was one of five Nottinghamshire churches that had a priest, but were not in possession of a church building. (The Association of Architectural Societies wrote in 1896 that there was evidence of an older church, but recorded no evidence for the conclusion.) In 1093 William II Rufus gave the church to the See of Lincoln, so it is possible that a building was erected between Domesday and this date. Very little can be ascertained of the church’s history throughout the medieval period. From 1171 to nearly the end of the eighteenth century, its annual Pentecostal offering to Southwell was 10 pence. By the reign of Edward II it warranted two chaplains to celebrate, as a licence of 1325 confirms.
The earliest feature in the present building is the transitional round-headed north aisle arcade, which is late twelfth or early thirteenth century. The slightly later south arcade of pointed arches dating from around 1200—1225. The tower, which is largely 14th century, includes a unique, beautifully carved canopy niche.
During the 18th century it would seem that the church was considerably neglected; there is reference to the chancel being in need of rebuilding in 1715, but nothing being done, and by 1844 the chancel, porch, and north aisle had disappeared and the north arcade had been walled up.
When Sir Stephen Glynne visited the church in April 1866 he commented, “The chancel windows are bad ... [with] none on the north side. The east gable of the Chancel is patched with brick...”
In 1868 the church was severely damaged when it was struck by lightning. This unfortunate incident in many ways saved the building, as a major restoration was set in place as well as the repair of the damage caused. At this time the chancel was completely rebuilt and considerable restoration carried out to the rest of the fabric.

Museum Gouda is the treasure house of Gouda. The museum has a collection of altar paintings from the sixteenth century that is unique in the Netherlands.
