Light from a solitary messenger
Qui fait sortir les couleurs
Gris comme la cendre
Blanc comme l'éternité
That brings out colors
Grey overtones like cinder
And white like eternity

She believes the noises are made by ghosts, but I think there's a more simple explanation.

Where the clouds touch the ground, lies 'Cloud House'. A snapshot of a former time, contained throughout. Everywhere you turn a reminder of days gone by. A stealthy approach and leaps of faith will reward the foolhardy.
Revisited - now considerably tidied up - nice!
On the inclosure of Corley Moor in the early 19th century, the glebe land with Allesley benefice received the allotment of a field, on the corner of which the Mission Church in Watery Lane now stands. William Bree, Allesley Rector 1808 – 1822, then exchanged some of his own land along Staircase Lane and Church Walk for three glebe fields, including the glebe inclosure award at Corley Moor. In 1886, William’s grandson, William, (Archdeacon) Bree, Allesley Rector 1863 – 1917, had the Mission Church built. He leased the Corley Moor land to the diocesan authorities. The lease was for a very long period which would lapse when the building ceased to be used for ecclesiastical purposes. The church was built, largely through the energies of the Rev. Robert Arrowsmith, who lived nearby and himself served the little tin chapel until he died. A framed photograph of Archdeacon Bree hung within it. It is believed that the corrugated iron church was purchased from a Harrod's Catalogue and delivered in a kit form.
The iron church was built at the meeting place of three parishes, Allesley, Fillongley and Corley and was convenient for the use of worship by parishioners from all three parishes. Services of Holy Baptism, Holy Communion, Mattins and Evensong were held, as was a Sunday School. It was not licensed for marriages and there was no burial ground. It was also used for social purposes and in the 1930s a flourishing Womens’ Meeting was held there.
In the summer of 1952 a mutual agreement was made between the Rev. Frank Moyle, Rector of Allesley and the Rev. Charles Goslin, Rector of Corley, that Corley should take over the building. Regular services were held, an electricity supply was installed and the old harmonium was replaced by a two manual reed organ. As it was not a consecrated building it was possible to re-arrange the furnishings to use the space for social and other fund raising events. Many local people remember attending Sunday School, there.
The building and field is now in private ownership.

The harmonium was invented in Paris in the 1840s by Alexandre Debain, though there was concurrent development of similar instruments.
Harmoniums reached the height of their popularity in the West in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were especially popular in small churches and chapels where a pipe organ would be too large or too expensive.
Harmoniums generally weigh less than similarly-sized pianos and are not as easily damaged in transport, thus they were also popular throughout the colonies of the European powers in this period not only because it was easier to ship the instrument out to where it was needed, but it was also easier to transport overland in areas where good-quality roads and railways may have been non-existent.
At the peak of the instruments' Western popularity around 1900, a wide variety of styles of harmoniums were being produced. These ranged from simple models with plain cases and only 4 or 5 stops (if any at all), up to large instruments with ornate cases, up to a dozen stops and other mechanisms such as couplers.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship.
Kachharibari (revenue office) also known as Rabindra Kachharibari (রবীন্দ্র কাছারি বাড়ি) or Rabindra Memorial Museum in Shahzadpur, Sirajganj District in the Division of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, is the ancestral home and revenue office of the Tagore family. Rabindranath Tagore created many of his literary works while living in this mansion. His grandfather, Dwarkanath Tagore purchased the estate in 1840, and Tagore would often visit in the late-1800s to escape the busier side of his life. Tagore wrote part of his plays Bishorjon, Sonar Tori, Chitra, Chaitali, Golapguchchho, Chhinnapatra, Panchabhooter Diary and Meyeli Chhara in Shahzadpur.
The building has since been converted into a museum and a memorial in his name. Many artefacts and memorabilia items are on display in the museum, including shoes, wooden sandals, a piano and a harmonium. The building itself is of interesting architectural heritage, and contains 7 rooms.

L'entrée de l'église paroissiale du Sacré-Cœur de Pont-Scorff se trouve Place de la Maison des Princes.
Cette église de style néo-gothique, sans clocher, fut construite entre 1892 et 1897 par l'entrepreneur Hervé à partir des plans de l'architecte Armand Gassis (1839-1915) qui fut aussi maire de Châteaulin et sénateur du Finistère.
A l'arrière, côté rue du Général de Langle de Cary, une construction aveugle en bois tient lieu de clocher.
A l'intérieur, pas d'orgues mais un harmonium Christophe & Etienne réparé en août 2012, utilisé régulièrement, notamment lors de concerts pour sa qualité musicale.
On peut admirer une verrière signée du maître-verrier lyonnais Lucien Bégule réalisée en 1896.
Dans la chapelle de la Vierge Marie, transept sud, une statuette de l'Enfant Jésus de Prague côtoie un objet curieux et original : le piédestal des Instruments de la Passion du Christ.
Il est composé en haut, d'une image de la Sainte Face de Jésus magnifiquement encadrée, alors que les instruments de la Passion figurent adossés à la colonne en bois qui sert de support au cadre.

Poonindie Mission Station originally the Poonindie Native Training Institution
Poonindie was founded 10 September 1850 by Archdeacon Matthew Hale who arrived in South Australia in 1848 with Bishop Augustus Short. They were concerned at attempts to christianise aboriginal people in South Australia and Hale determined to set up a suitable village near Port Lincoln. In 1850 Hale succeeded in obtaining a grant from the government ‘to fund an institution for aborigines at Poonindie’. Hale took only teenagers from the Adelaide Boarding School for Aborigines for his institution.
In 1852 when the last Adelaide school for aborigines closed there were no more young people with qualifications in reading, writing and christianity available for the institution. The Government advised Hale that if he wanted government assistance he would have to take any persons sent to him by the Protector of Aborigines, even those of mixed descent, and he was to make Poonindie a distribution point for rations for the local aborigines.
Hale agreed to these conditions and succeeded in setting up his christian village. However in 1856 he moved to Western Australia where he was appointed the first Bishop of Perth.
In 1856 the Reverend Octavius Hammond was appointed to succeed Hale as Superintendent of the Poonindie mission. As a doctor and surgeon, Octavius Hammond had been in practice in Adelaide and was persuaded to take up Poonindie to stem the prevalence of mortality. His skill was a blessing to the rest of the district as well as the mission.
The Aboriginal people grew into a close-knit community, even as Superintendents, farm managers and teachers came and went.
By early 1890 pressure was being put on the government to close the mission and the land to be sold.
The mission closed after 44 fruitful years and the land was subdivided and sold. St Matthew’s and a small area of land remained the property of the Anglican Church.
Aboriginal residents were relocated to Point Pearce and Point McLeay missions.
Approximately 300 acres of land east of St Matthew’s Church was dedicated as an aboriginal reserve which is now being managed by the Port Lincoln Aboriginal Community Council. [Ref: Story Board]
Poonindie – It consists of 15,455 acres of fair land, some arable, and all good sheep country. Of this 250 acres are under crop 220 wheat and 30 hay. This year the yield has been 2,400 bushels of wheat and about 60 tons of hay: 9,000 sheep are depastured, from which the clip last season gave 115 bales. There are also 150 head of horned cattle and 30 horses.
The settlement is on a plain a short distance from a small river containing permanent water.
There is quite a little township, consisting of a chapel, school, store, superintendent’s and farm manager’s residences, eleven neat brick and eight upright log cottages standing close together, all as spotlessly white as whitewash can make them, and three detached cottages for boundary riders.
There are at present 78 natives on the station, which is under the superintendence of the Reverend R W Holden, and of these all the adults, with the exception of one or two who are incapacitated, are earning their own living.
There is a school with an attendance of 26 scholars, presided over by Mr W G Blackmore. The scholars were examined in several subjects, and showed much aptness and intelligence, whilst the copy-books submitted for inspection would do credit to any school in the country.
The chapel, which is of stone with brick facings, is a quaint-looking little building with a clock, and circular plate in front bearing the inscription “Native Institution founded Oct 10, 1850.”
It will accommodate 150, and contains a neat reading-desk, communion table, harmonium, comfortable seats, and a punkah.
Close to the chapel in a hollow is a fruit and vegetable garden, and on the opposite bank of the creek is the cemetery.
The management of the farm and stock is in the hands of Mr Watts Newland, a thoroughly practical man.
The wheat and other produce of the station are shipped direct for Port Adelaide from Louth Bay, thus saving any land carriage.
Mr Newland has to assist him fifteen able-bodied men, to whom regular wages are paid as to European labourers.
There are a number of married couples on the station, and the people are all well behaved, and seem very happy and comfortable.
The mission, which is self supporting, is going good work, and is deserving of the encouragement of all who have the welfare of our native population at heart. [Ref: Register 15-2-1876]
St Matthew’s Church
The church was built in 1854–1855, by Tom Coffin the master mason, with assistance from the residents of the mission at the time. At first Hale intended it to be the school but on completion it became the church serving the mission and the local community.
The Willochran 1-10-1931, extract of article by Archdeacon Snow] “The then Bishop of Adelaide, Bishop Short, speaks once of a ‘chapel’ in one of his letters and some visitor writes of what he calls the village of Poonindie … the very masonry of the walls is of interest to architects. The stone came from the bed of the Tod River and is of many colours, the stone of one course is laid diagonally, the next in an opposite direction. The quoins are of warm red bricks: handmade from the clay from the clay pits and puddled by bullocks a few hundred yards away and the roof was thatched with grass from the nearby swamps. But the great feature of interest on the wall facing towards the hills, is the handsome chimney-stack of Tudor design, which provides a fireplace for which is now the nave, and one for the loft above, where once the schoolmaster lived, visitors often slept and classes were held on occasions. A winding staircase gives entrance from the nave.”
By May 1855 the fine school building was almost complete: Archdeacon Hale was able to conduct the first divine service on the loft on May 17.
