Oh dear, another late night, another frantic search for something to photograph. As my good friend touchingthelight says, “There’s always a lamp”. More info. Ref: D1301-152
taken on Light Night, but nothing to do with it other than they are lights (In a building where you're not meant to take photos... cough cough)
Electricity came to Luppitt in 1959, and the church was connected that same year. The previous oil lights were replaced; I'm not sure whether these are original switches or later fitment.
At the same time, the heating system was fitted with a pump, instead of relying on the original thermosyphon circulation. That original pump is still in place fifty two years later (although I did overhaul it about eight years ago): quite a tribute to traditional British engineering.

The US show of Art Basel takes place each December at Miami Beach. Art Basel stages art shows for Modern and contemporary works.
Saxo-Norman in origin the church lies 150 yards south of a moated manor site and near to a deserted medieval village. This early church was rebuilt in 1816 by Warren Hastings, the present building was designed by J.L Pearson for the stockbroker Harman Grisewood between 1859-63. It is a significant building in the Early French Geometrical style influenced by William Burges and indeed much of the carving is by Thomas Nicholls, Burges' favourite mason. Built without regard to expense, interior and exterior are virtually unchanged, a nationally important Victorian building with a contemporary decorative scheme. This includes a series of fine windows by Clayton and Bell.
However there is a serious doubt over the future of this magnificent church as it is in a poor state of repair.
