The oldest part of the church is Anglo-Saxon, stone built in the 9th century, replacing an older wood and mud building. The nave was without aisles and two of its original windows are preserved in the Anglo-Saxon walling at the west end of the nave. These were unglazed and were closed in bad weather by wooden shutters wedged into a rebate cut into the outer edge of the window. High up in the north wall of the nave are three Anglo-Saxon circular windows, probably the upper storey. The ring of holes drilled round them held wattle rods used in the construction of the windows.
Aisles were first added in the 12th century. On each side of the nave two low arched openings pierced through the existing walls gave access to the aisles. These openings were swept away when the present arcade was put in in 1812, but the Norman angle-shafts to the responds can be seen in the wall at each end of the arcade. In the 15th century wider aisles were built, the Norman south doorway moved out to its present position and a porch was built. At the east end of each aisle is a squint giving a view of the altar. One of these is a very rare squint passage which, prior to the installation of choir pews, would have allowed access to the altar. In the North aisle the west wall contains a 13th century lancet window. The south wall of this aisle was at first the outside wall of the church and the rough area of plaster above the Anglo-Saxon window is the original exterior plaster of the Anglo-Saxon church. The wooden box chest is dated 1634. There are some medieval tiles (13th-14th century) on the floor near it and also a few in the south aisle.
The wooden balcony in the nave is the 15th century rood loft, one of the very few which have survived. When removed, probably early in the reign of Elizabeth I, it was carefully hidden behind a lath and plaster covering against the east wall of the nave, discovered there in 1812 and since repainted. The wooden screen below the loft is Victorian.
The tower is 15th century. On its floor stands the Norman font (early 12th century). The Font Figure has long been the subject of speculation and debate. However, recent research identifies the carving as being that of St Michael, on an original Saxon font, over-cut by Norman carvings and 16th century desecration. St Michael is also depicted on the font at Winterbourne Monkton, but the Avebury font carving is far earlier than that of Winterbourne Monkton and the saint is depicted as holding a crozier- not a symbol of Episcopal power but rather cosmic, supernatural power. The carvings show two serpents with twisted tails, their heads turned towards the figure of a bishop or Archangel Michael holding a crozier; popular pictures in the middle-ages showed Christ trampling on the dragons of evil and sin. It is also worth noting that the tree, carved in one piece, 12 pillars of wood/ tree trunks circling the font contains a wonderful array of birds.
Bristol Cathedral was for many centuries without a nave, something that the Victorians corrected with this masterpiece. View the other way from my last upload.

The site of the Hereford Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin
and Saint Ethelbert the King, became a place of worship in the 8th century or earlier although the oldest part of the current building, the bishop's chapel, dates to the 11th Century, just after the Norman conquest.
Having been destroyed in the last decade of the Saxon period, construction of the current building began as early as 1079. The columns in this shot are Norman, with period decorative work. Indeed, the view here is not enormously altered from that which would have existed at the end of the period of rebuilding in in 1148, although beyond this, only some fragments of the Norman building survive, and most of the current superstructure is 13th-16th Century, although there was a substantial interior reordering and ‘restoration’ from 1841-63.

1of 5 new for my album Marstrand. Take a look !
Marstrand is a seaside locality on the Swedish west-coast. It had 1,319 inhabitants in 2010 and has held city privileges since 1200. The most striking feature about Marstrand is the 17th-century fortress Carlsten, named after King Carl X Gustav of Sweden. The town got its name from its location on the island Marstrandsön.
During the last quarter of the 18th century Marstrand had the free port status, granted by the King Gustav III. Marstrand is a popular sailing resort in summer time with many sailing competitions.

One of the greatest extant examples of Norman architecture, it was begun in 1174 by William II of Sicily. In 1182 the church, dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, was elevated to the rank of a metropolitan cathedral. In 2015 it was as part of the Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale made a UNESCO Heritage site.
Today was the Celebration Organ Day at Bath Abbey.
Famous organist Christopher Herrick was there to run a masterclass, lead a discussion and take part in an evening recital.
The screen in the nave (with projector behind) was to allow visitors to see the young organists' hands.
The nave was used by the laybrothers who looked after the day-to-day running of the Abbey, so that the choir monks could devote their lives to prayer. The laybrothers attended fewer services, although they would pray in the fields when they heard the Abbey service bell. As their work was more demanding, they had longer hours of sleep and more to eat. They often worked as shepherds or labourers on the Abbey's farms. Although the laybrothers took monastic vows, they had their own dormitory, refectory and infirmary.

The cathedral dates to 1083, although. the abbey it replaced was founded in 673 by St Ethelreada, who was buried on the site. The painted wooden panels on the ceiling of the nave were completed in 1862 and represent the ancestry of Jesus, beginning with Adam.

Una Polena è una decorazione lignea, spesso figura femminile o di animale, che si trovava sulla prua delle navi dal XVI al XIX secolo. La pratica fu introdotta inizialmente nei galeoni, ma anche navi più antiche avevano spesso alcune decorazioni nella prua.
