Some of the C11-C12 work in southern Warwickshire churches.Wawickshire's Churches
Southern Warwickshire's M40 corridor is full of variety and character, part Midlands, part Cotswold border area fromGreat Wolford to the Stour valley on comes across all sorts of delights like the tiny Norman church at Tidmington to the imposing parish church at
Tredington. These churches near the market town of
Shipston on Stour make a good base and one can find a wealth of architectural history nearby. The fascinating Seventeenth century church atHonnington is a great example, it emulates a City of London church in some respects. There are grand Victorian gothic examples at Hampton Lucy and Charlcote, along with minor treasures like Combrook near the Compton Verney estate so attractively landscaped by Capability Brown.
Warwickshire's churches are packed with good monuments from all periods, it was a delight to find outstanding work at Moreton Morrell and Newbold Pacey. The finest monuments within England can be found in Warwick's Beauchamp Chapel .Some churches have little surviving
medieval work whilst others such as Loxley display good work from all periods dating back to pre conquest times. Simarly some churches are now quite isolated and are near sites of lost villages such as Whitchurch. It was in the Edge Hill area that the first inconclusive battle of the English Civil War took place (1642). Nestling in these hills are lovely quite villages with old parish churches like Whichford and Shottswell . South of Stratford is the fascinating late C18 church at Preston on Stour with its fine monuments and evocative setting. The Pevsner guide pointed out minor delights such as the Priest's Door at Pillerton Hersey or the beautiful font at Brailes a church as dramatic as any in the region. These churches are built of crumbling Hornton stone and their features are fast disappearing. In some cases Norman work is better preserved from the vagaries of the English climate as at Halford with its near perfect Tympanum. Interior feature seem to have lasted better, and some are of outstanding quality as this door moulding at Warmington high on the escarpment as Warwickshire passes into Oxfordshire. Near her is the fascinating and atmospheric church of Burton Dassett with its finely carved capitals crawling with animals and woven with foliage.

Still retaining its eagle fin markings, former Royal Navy Buccaneer S.1 XN930 was given the 'maintenance' serial 8180M when transferred to the RAF for ground instruction in 1971.
Initially stationed at St Athan, the airframe was later transferred to Honington as a battle damage repair airframe in support of the Buccaneer S.2 fleet based here.
It lasted until 1991 when scrapped at West Hanningfield.

The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British low-level subsonic strike aircraft that served with the Royal Navy (RN) and later the Royal Air Force (RAF), retiring from service in 1994. Designed and initially produced by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough, it was later known as the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer when Blackburn became a part of the Hawker Siddeley group.
The Royal Navy originally procured the Buccaneer as a naval strike aircraft capable of operating from their aircraft carriers, introducing the type to service in 1962 to counterbalance advances made in the Soviet Navy. The Buccaneer was capable of delivering nuclear weapons as well as conventional munitions for anti-shipping warfare, and were typically active in the North Sea area during its service. Early on the initial production aircraft suffered a series of accidents due to insufficient engine power, thus the Buccaneer S.2, equipped with more powerful Rolls-Royce Spey engines, was soon introduced.
Although they originally rejected it in favour of the supersonic BAC TSR-2, the RAF later procured the Buccaneer as a substitute following the cancellation of both the TSR-2 and its planned replacement, the F-111K. When the RN retired the last of its large aircraft carriers, its Buccaneers were transferred to the RAF. The South African Air Force also procured the type. Buccaneers saw combat action in the Gulf War and the South African Border War. In RN service, the Buccaneer was replaced with the V/STOL British Aerospace Sea Harrier. In RAF service, they were replaced by the Panavia Tornado.
