Views of the spire of the ruined church of St Andrew off Deansway in Worcester
This is above a college in Worcester.
This is all that is left of the medieval church of St Andrew in Worcester. It was demolished in 1949 after decline, disuse and decay. All that remains is this 15th century tower with its vaulted ceiling and fine series of 32 carved stone bosses.
The spire was created by local mason Nathaniel Wilkinson. It went up in the 1750s, to replace the smaller, wooden one destroyed by lightning in c.1730.
It is a Grade II* listed building.
Also known as: St Andrew's Tower COPENHAGEN STREET. Also known as: St Andrew's Church Tower ST ANDREW'S GARDENS. Church tower. C15 with spire rebuilt in 1751 by Nathaniel Wilkinson, a journey-man of Worcester. Limestone ashlar. 3-stage Perpendicular tower with slim, recessed, octagonal Gothick spire. Chamfered plinth. Diagonal off-set buttresses to first and second stages, those to first stage have engaged columnettes, with clasping pilasters to third stage. Pointed arches to east, north and south with Perpendicular moulding. 5-light pointed west window. First-stage band. To second stage a 2-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery to head; second stage band. Third stage has 2-light pointed belfry window. Spire has one level of 2-light, then single light lucarnes. Surmounted by Corinthian capital. INTERIOR: lierne-vault over lower stage, to the east the springers of the first bay of the arcades. To south-west angle a plank door in ogeed surround. HISTORICAL NOTE: the medieval, probably C12 church was demolished after war damage. It now stands in a public garden, opened 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Elizabeth II. The original top of the spire stands in the same garden. The spire is locally known as "The Glover's Needle" due to its shape and to Worcester's association with the glove-making industry. A significant streetscape feature, forming an important landmark. It forms part of the visual context for Worcester Cathedral (qv) from the River Severn, together with Worcester Bridge, Bridge Street (qv), Gascoyne House, Brown's Restaurant and Bond House, South Quay (qqv) and grouping with Merchant's House, Quay Street (qv).

Spire of Saint Andrew's Church, Worcester - Heritage Gateway
The Glover's Needle (or St Andrews Spire) is a spire-carrying tower in the city of Worcester, England.
The tower is a prominent landmark of the city, from road, rail, or the River Severn, and can be seen for miles around. It is located in St Andrews Gardens close to Worcester College of Technology. The spire used to crown the church of St Andrew but this was demolished in the late 1940s. The Glover's Needle is seated on Deansway Road, Worcester Cathedral being very close to the south and All Saints Church to the north. On the western side of the spire the pedestrian can descend into gardens that lead onto the River Severn. Across the road from the Glover's Needle is a "House of Fraser" shop which stands on the site of the old graveyard of St Andrews. At night the spire is illuminated (but not the tower below) and a blue glow is projected from inside one of the windows. The blue represents St Andrew, the colour of the Scottish flag. The blue glow and night lighting were paid for by the Rotary Club of Worcester Severn, to commemorate the millennium in 2000.
In the 15th century, Saxons built a church (called St. Andrews Church) with a tall spire but this was destroyed in a great storm of 1733. Shortly after this disaster, the spire was rebuilt. It was constructed by using the ingenious method of kite flying to carry up the stones. Worcester people took the new masterpiece to their hearts and named it the 'Glover's Needle'. This name came from the industrial glove making that was executed in Worcester. The entire structure measures approximately 245 feet. It is the tallest spire in the country to have such a narrow angle of taper. In the 1920s the slum housing which crowded round the church was demolished. The congregation of the church was thus reduced by a large degree. The church fell into decay, had an overgrown churchyard, few parishioners and a tiny parish of five acres. In the 1940s, the council accepted the Bishop of Worcester's offer of the church. They decided to demolish the church and create a garden of remembrance to replace it. However the council decided to leave the tower and spire, freestanding. Thus St Andrew's church was demolished in 1949.
As a millennium project, a clock was installed in the tower and now the hours are struck on the council bell. A recently reinstated custom is to have the council bell strike from 18:45 to 18:50 before a full meeting of the council. In the early 2000s a fence was put around the base of the spire. A few years ago, the RSPB has taken the Glover's Needle into their own hands and the actual spire is now used for special birds of prey for roosting. Live web cams have been installed in the tower.
The Glover's Needle formerly housed a set of five bells.[citation needed] These were hung full circle for proper English style change ringing. In 1870, four of the bells were sold but the tenor (heaviest bell) was retained in the old bell frame. This bell weighs 20 CWT — 1 ton. This is the so-called council bell mentioned above. It is unlikely that the Glover's Needle could sustain a ring of bells today as there is no church to buttress the swaying tower.
You can see the lead embedded in the matrix. This is native lead, which means it is in its elemental form.

Lead Me Not Into Temptation... [163/365] - Eating healthy, Day 12 is a success, although it was far from easy. This morning the lady from the agency that recruited me for my job came into my office with a box of donuts. Suddenly, my carrots didn't look as yummy as I'd convinced myself that they were. I stared at the donuts... I even put my nose close enough to smell them, but I did NOT eat even one bite. Trust me, it wasn't easy getting through the work day knowing that box of deliciousness was in the office.
After work, it was off to Ryan's house for his graduation party, where I found myself faced with even more challenges. Cupcakes, ice cream cake, chips, soft drinks... oh the madness! With Ryan's encouragement I filled my plate with healthy snacks, and life went on. Only 9 more days of this crazy challenge!
Happy Thank God It's Food Day!!

At the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
I have always loved and admired leaded glass as a decorative medium, and the panels in one of the doors into the Cathedral are no exception. I think I could be good at making it, given the right work space and plenty of spare glass for all the mistakes I'd make during the learning process.
I suppose the bottom two panels are clear, or at least minimally opaque, so people on one side of the door can see people approaching from the other side.

B-17G. 43-37822 384th Bomb Group. 544th Bomb Squadron.
Delivered: Cheyenne 25/5/44; Kearney 8/6/44; Grenier 28/6/44; Assigned: 544BS/384BG [SU-N] Grafton Underwood 29/6/44.
Reported missing in action September 28th 1944 near Madgeburg. The primary target was the Leuna Industry oil plant which was obscured by weather and only 23 aircraft released their bomb loads, 359 aircraft bombed the city of Madgeburg, and 35 aircraft bombed targets of opportunity in the vicinity. Heavy flak forced many of the 1,049 bombers into crossing course with another formations after bombs away. Consequently the lead aircraft of the 384th made a sharp descending right turn to avoid the ensuing traffic of aircraft. The high element inner most of the right turn had to reduce speed down to maintain formation while in a slight climb. In this formation manoever the "Lead Banana" collided with a B-17G (42-31222) from the 384th's 545th Bomb Squadron aircraft called “Lazy Daisy” .
“Lazy Daisy” was going too fast and was unable to maintain the slight climb and slow right turn and continued forward sliding diagonally across the right turning formation. "Lazy Daisy" narrowly passing under a B-17 flown by Lt. Wallace Storey who pulled his aircraft up, narrowly avoiding a collision. Lt. Storey called over to John Buslee in the "Lead Banana" warning of the impending collision, yet received no reply. "Lazy Daisy" quickly continued it's sliding path across the slowing formation and impacted the “Lead Banana” in its right turn, cutting the fuselage in two at the midsection. The “Lazy Daisy” in it's momentum collapsed into itself folding up it's wings trapping the crew in the front of the aircraft while the rear crewmembers were able to escape. The "Lead Banana's" crew were trapped in the fiery wreckage except for George Ferrar in the waist section who escaped. Both of the tangled B-17's plummeted down in a fireball. Both aircraft separated during the descent crashing in the separate locations of Ingersleben Ost and Erxleben, Germany. The only two aircraft lost that day for the 384th Bomb Group.

"I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go. If you would hearken to my commandments, your prosperity would be like a river, and your vindication like the Waves of the Sea..." ~ Isaiah 48:17-18
MEDITATION
“…the prophet Isaiah reminds the Israelites that their guide is the Lord, maker of heaven and earth. And He knows the best paths to guide His people “for [their] good,” paths that lead to places of blessing (Isaiah 48:17). From the beginning, God desired to lead His people. Unfortunately, they didn’t always listen to Him or obey His commands. As a result, the Babylonians conquered them and led them into exile. But now, through His prophet, God pleads with the exiles to “hearken to [his] commandments” so that He can bless them (48:18).
“Just as God wanted to speak to Israel, He wants to speak to us and lead us along safe paths. Why, then, can it feel so hard to hear Him? It may be that other voices have our attention. So one important way to hear God’s voice is through silence. And it’s not just about closing our mouths. It’s about quieting our hearts and minds as well. Our racing thoughts or the stresses of life can flood us with fear and anxiety and distract us from the guidance that God wants to send us.
“That’s why the psalmist proclaims, “Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:11). So be still! Find a quiet place, away from distractions, where you can pray. You might even need to close your eyes. Then picture Jesus sitting with you. As you quiet yourself, alone with Him, you may begin to recognize His presence. You might experience His Love or hear Him say, “Trust in me.” You might find a new sense of Peace. You may even feel led to apologize to a family member or reach out to a coworker. In the silence, God will guide you.”
PRAYER
“Lead me, Lord. I’m listening.”

Lillith and Eden™ Two Doll Gift Set
Suggested Retail Price: $199.00 US
Limited Edition Size: 450 Gift Sets Worldwide
Estimated Delivery date: Early July 2012
Fire and ice, good and evil, ying and yang, Lilith and Eden. As beautiful as they are, the "fashion twins" (as they are now known in the modeling industry), mean trouble whenever they show up at a party or a photo shoot. Off-camera, while Eden is always nice and more peaceful, she always ends up in trouble because of her sister's meddlesome mischievous approach to life, but things are totally different in front of the cameras! The high-contrast of the twin's individual personalities usually make for some of the most interesting fashion photos ever to grace the pages of the most prestigious fashion publications in the world! As seen here in this gift set, the girls truly know how to make their unique style shine through, while always flawlessly complementing one another. Of course, they always select clothes that will allow them to steal from one another's closets to create a multitude of new looks. After all, isn't expanding your closet one of the many advantages of having a twin?
Lilith and Eden are 12" fully articulated vinyl fashion dolls with rooted hair, hand applied eyelashes, fashions, jewelry, accessories and shoes. This two doll set includes dolls, stands and a certificate of authenticity.

One World Trade Center, more simply known as 1 WTC and previously known as the Freedom Tower, is the lead building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The 104-story supertall skyscraper is being constructed in the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site, occupying the location where the original 8-story 6 World Trade Center once stood. The building is bounded to the west by West Street, to the north by Vesey Street, to the south by Fulton Street, and to the east by Washington Street. Construction on below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the building began on April 27, 2006.[8] On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority confirmed that the building would be known by its legal name of One World Trade Center, rather than the colloquial name, Freedom Tower.
At the time of its completion in 2013, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height, with its spire reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet (541.3 m) in reference to the year of American independence.[9][10] It has been the tallest building in New York since April 30, 2012.[11][12] However, its overall roof height, at 1,368 feet (417.0 m), will still be 82 feet (25.0 m) shorter than the roof of Chicago's 108-story Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower). The new World Trade Center complex will also feature three other high-rise office buildings, located along Greenwich Street, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located just south of One World Trade Center, where the Twin Towers once stood. The construction is part of an effort to memorialize and rebuild after the original World Trade Center complex was destroyed during the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Ballycorus Lead Mines Chimney, Carrickgollogan Hill, Dublin, Ireland.
Ballycorus (Irish: Baile Mhic Fheorais, meaning "Town of the Pearse Family") leadmines is a former lead mining and smelting centre located in the townland of the same name, near Kilternan in County Dublin, Ireland. The mine opened around 1807 and was taken over by the Mining Company of Ireland (MCI) in 1826 who owned and operated the site up until closure in 1913. After the mine was exhausted in the 1860s, Ballycorus continued to operate as a smelting facility receiving ore from other MCI sites such as the mines in Glendalough, County Wicklow.[Wikipedia]
There are very impressive views over Dublin.
This was my first trip to the Lead Miners in a few years. Being enthusiastic I parked my Car on Lehaunstown Lane near the Luas stop. I then walked to the Lead Mines by road and forest path, which took around an hour each way.

BIRTHDAY OUTING TO CHISWICK HOUSE (1/21)
One of a pair of lead sphinxes that face each other from the tops of the main gate piers to Chiswick House, London.
These are replicas of the 18th Century (c. 1720) originals, as explained here.
(Wish I'd left a bit more sky (vertically) in the original frame.)
Chiswick House was built in 1729 in Palladian style to designs by Lord Burlington (Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, "the architect Earl", 1694-1753), assisted by several contemporary architects. This was not for a home, but to house his art collections. We also visited the pioneering landscaped grounds (William Kent) with their classical-style monuments and sculptures.

And here we are, back at St Martin for the 4th time in 5 weeks, seeing if I could get a key or it be open.
Jools had suggested that with it being Easter, there might be people tidying the church best the Sunday Service, and she was right.
In fact there was a veritable army of people working, at least a half dozen, dusting, cleaning, flower arranging. When I mentioned the key holder hadn't been in, a voice said, oh that's me. I've been on holiday.
I tried to make her feel better, saying I only live local.
A fine church, the photos might have a red tinge due to all the electric heaters being on, and sadly, the Chancel roof is crumbling, so the whole area is closed off least people get struck by falling masonry.
-------------------------------------------
Hidden away from the road that rushes through the village, this is a tour de force of thirteenth century architecture. Narrow piers lead to aisles cut from the Norman church. At the west end is a small glass panel of SS Peter and Paul – opinion is divided about its age, but I feel that it is probably 17th or 18th century German. Its setting by Powell’s is delightful. The church was restored by William Butterfield and much of the interior is his – the pulpit, north and south chancel walls, choir stalls, altar rails and tiles. As an ensemble it is one of the finest in Kent and at the present time (Autumn 2008) is threatened with drastic reordering. Butterfield`s chancel screen has already disappeared, together with its highly-praised wrought iron gates. In the north chapel is a standard early 17th century prie-Dieu monument. However, on the outer wall of the tower is a memorial to Robert Maynard the man who captured Blackbeard the pirate in Carolina. Surprisingly the monument does not mention what was undoubtedly his greatest hour! That’s Life!

------------------------------------------
GREAT MONGEHAM,
WRITTEN in Domesday, Mundingeham, and in some antient records, both Est-Munlingham and UpMoningham, and now Great Mongeham, which addition it has to distinguish it from the adjoining hamlet of Little Mongeham, lies the next parish north-westward from that of Ripple.
THE FACE of the country throughout this parish is somewhat different from that of Ripple last-described, for it is more flat, even, and more inclosed with trees and hedge-rows of elm; the soil is more fertile, having less chalk and much loam, and deep earth through out it. There are about nine hundred acres of land in this parish, which are worth upon an average twenty shillings per acre, consequently it is rich land. The village, called Mongeham-street, in which the church stands, consists of about thirty houses, one of which is a good house, formerly both owned and inhabited by Samuel Shepherd, esq. whose arms were, Ermine, on a chief, sable, three battle axes, or, and now by John Raven Bray, esq. son of the late admiral, whose property it is.
In the south part of this parish is a hamlet called Pigsole. There is no woodland in it. There is a fair held here yearly on October 29, formerly on St. Luke's day, for cattle and pedlary. Bertram de Criol had a grant from king Henry III. of a market here, to be held on a Thursday weekly, which was allowed by the Justices itinerant in the 7th year of king Edward I. and a fair yearly for three days on the eve of the day of St. Luke, and the day after.
THE MANORof Adisham, at which court a borsholder is chosen for this parish, claims paramount over the greatest part of it, subordinate to which is
THE MANOR OF GREAT MONGEHAM, with the mansion of Fogge's court, alias Scott's court, long since dwindled down to a mere cottage, was formerly the estate of the eminent family of Fogge, and is the only one, of the many, which they possessed in this country, that adopted their surname. Sir John Fogge, of Repton, in Ashford, died possessed of it in 1400, anno 6 Henry VII. and by his will devised it to his eldest son, by his second wife, Sir Thomas Fogge, sergeant-porter of Calais, whose eldest daughter and coheir Anne married William Scott, esq. brother of Sir Reinold Scott, and entitled him to the possession of this manor. He died, s.p. and how it passed afterwards, I have no where seen, only that at the latter end of the next reign of king James I. this manor of Great Mongeham was by sale conveyed to Mr. Philip Pownal, of Shebbertswell, in whose descendants it remained, till it passed into the name of Fasham; in which it continued down to MrSamuel Fasham, who in 1729, having in his will disinherited his son Anthony, gave this manor, among the rest of his estates, to his three daughters; Joane Fasham, spinster; Martha married to Bethell Dawes, gentand Elizabeth, to Mr. Edward Roby, of Deal, as tenants in common; but the whole of it is now become vested in Mr. Samuel Fasham Roby, the descendant of the latter, and the present proprietor of this manor.
A court baron is held for it, in a public-house near Sholdon bank, known by the name of the Red Lion, the manor-house, being a mean cottage; the demesne lands have been sold off, and there are only a few trisling quit-rents belonging to it.
THE CRAYFORD-HOUSE, alias STONEHALL, was a mansion situated at a small distance westward of the church, the scite of which, though the house itself has been many years since pulled down, is still visible, and by the ruins yet remaining of brick and slint, appears to have been large, and though not of a modern date, yet of no very great antiquity. This mansion, for many descents, was the property and residence of the family of Crayford, whose estates in this neighbourhood were very considerable. In an old roll, which gives an account of those Kentish gentlemen, who were with Richard Nevill, earl of Warwick, in the year 1460, at the battle of Northampton, fighting on behalf of the then victorious house of York, mention is made of William Crayford, esq. who was then made knight-banneret by king Edward IV. for his eminent services performed there, and at different times before; and bore for his arms, Or, on a chevron, sable, three eagles heads, erased, argent. Philipott says, mentioning the above coat of arms, (though without the colours) that he does it to rectify that mistake, which through inadvertency has crept into our Heraldic Visitations of Kent, in which the paternal coat of this family is represented, as being Upon a chevron, three falcons heads, erased. From this Sir William Crayford, knight-banneret, this seat and estate descended down to William Crayford, esq. of Great Mongeham, who died possessed of it in Charles II.'s reign, and seems to have been the last of this family who resided here.
Upon his death, although some of the Crayford estate in this parish descended to his nephew Edward Crayford, esq. of Canterbury, eldest son of George, his next brother, deceased; yet the mansion house above-mentioned, known by the name of Stoneball, and the greatest part of his estates in this parish and its neighbourhood, came by his will to Ursula, his surviving widow, who afterwards married Nordash Rand, esq. of Ripple, and entitled him to the possession of them. He had by her two daughters, one of whom married Robert Chadwick, esq. of Northfleet, and the other, Judith, the only surviving one, died unmarried. At his death, the scite of this mansion, which had been pulled down by him, with the lands above-mentioned in this parish, came again into the possession of his surviving widow Ursula, who at her death devised them by her will to her youngest and only surviving daughter Ursula, who died unmarried, and she by her will gave them to her niece Mrs. Mary Morrice, daughter of her elder sister by Robert Chadwick, esq. above-mentioned, and wife of William Morrice, esq. of Betshanger, since deceased, and she is at this time the possessor of this estate.
Charities.
JOHN SAMPSON, gent. of this parish, by his will in 1659, gave to the churchwardens and overseers the yearly sum of 20s. out of his messuage in Walmer, and two parcels of land, containing ten acres in Great Mongeham; to be employed yearly in buying coals in summer, to be delivered to the poor of this parish in winter, with power of distress, &c. which premises are now in the possession of George Leith, esq of Deal.
The poor constantly relieved are about six, casually four.
GREAT MONGEHAM is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
¶The church, which is dedicated to St. Martin, is large and handsome, having a square tower at the west end. On the steeple, over the west door, is a shield of arms, being A fess, between three lions passant, a mullet, pierced on the chevron, for difference. It consists of a have and north isle. There has been one likewise on the south side, sometime since pulled down. The high chancel is remarkably long, with two side chancels. At one angle of the tower is a small round one, in which is a newel staircase; it is built very strong and large, and is embattled at the top. There are five small bells in it. There is a large and handsome window over the west door of the tower, formerly much ornamented, though at present the stone work is much decayed. In the spandrill of the arch over this door, on the dexter side, is a shield, On a fess, a mullet, pierced, between three lions passant; the correspondent shield; on the sinister side is a blank. The church is not chiled; the chancel is handsomely boarded at the top. There is no great shew of antiquity in any part of it. In the high chancel, within the altar-rails, is a memorial for Timothy Wilson, rector of this parish and Kingsnoth, obt. 1705. —Without the rails, is a memorial for Anne, wife of the Rev. John Herring, obt. 1768. In the north chancel a monument, having the figure of a man in armour, and his wife kneeling at an altar, and underneath five sons and one daughter, for Edward Crayford, esq. eldest son of Sir William Crayford, obt. 1615.
