Monument in the south aisle to Edward Boughton (d.1548) & Elizabeth Boughton (d.1583). by Garrat Hollemans, 1583 (according to Pevsner).
St Botolph's at Newbold on Avon (now virtually a suburb of Rugby) is one of the more interesting of the historic churches in this part of Warwickshire with a collection of monuments to the Boughton Family of various dates.
The nave and tower date mostly from the 15th century rebuilding but the plain chancel was rebuilt in the early Victorian period. The interior is light with little Victorian stained glass, here confined to the nave aisles (three by Heaton, Butler & Bayne on the north side, one by Burlison & Grylls on the south). The main east window is mostly plain.
The monuments are from distinct periods, two 15th century tombs in the south aisle have flat incised slabs with the images of Geoffrey Allesley and John Boughton with their respective wives. Also in the south aisle two wall monuments with small, rather folksy figures carved in relief to two generations of the Boughton family (of Little Lawford Hall). The largest of all is that to William Boughton & wife from 1716, a rather pompous Baroque piece with standing figures that dominates the chancel.
This a church that certainly rewards the visitor but alas is normally kept locked, though there may be a keyholder available (I got no answer from the one listed on their website, though some information on there (such as openings on Thursdays) appears to be long out of date and in the end I called the vicar who very kindly unlocked the church for me).

One of the doors in the bigger lock at Kornwerderzand (Frisian: Koarnwertersân) in the Afsluitdijk -a major dam in the Netherlands that links Friesland with North Holland- was damaged by a fisherboat. Two boats became direct victims and had to stay inside for several days ...
Pech
Met een wachttijd bm bij Kornwerdersand door de sluis te komen had je geen rekening gehouden. De stroomrichting Harlingen is tegen, dus duurt de tocht 2 5 uur. De wind zit wel mee..
