Early evening sunshine bathes the ruins of Burnham Norton Friary in Norfolk. The friary was the fourth Carmelite house of friars to be established in England and the first to be founded after the order was expelled from Mount Carmel in 1238 by the Saracens. The friary, near Burnham Market, was founded by Sir William Calthorp and Sir Ralph Hemenhale in 1241.

Doctor Who fans may well recognise this Victorian stately home near Evesham in Worcestershire, seen today in snow.
Wood Norton Hall, now a hotel and restaurant, featured in a 1969 episode of Doctor Who called Spearhead from Space. The stars included Jon Pertwee as The Doctor, Caroline John as Liz Shaw and Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
Wood Norton Hall and its estate dates back to medieval times, and was the last home in England for the later king of France, Duc d'Orleans. During its life it has also been a private school before the BBC bought the estate in April 1939 to provide an emergency broadcasting centre away from London in case of war.
When the Second World War did break out a few months later, the centre evolved into one of the largest broadcasting centres in Europe, and also provided a monitoring station for foreign broadcasts. After the war the site became an engineering training centre.
A beautiful little cove on the Oregon coast. The young men on the rocks in the middle were looking for a place to fish.
The Parish Church of Saint Peter
The village of Norton Disney sits close to the River Witham just off the Fosse Way (Roman road) between Lincoln and Newark on Trent, a 1st century roman villa was discovered by a farmer close to the village.
The village church is dedicated to St Peter and has an unbuttressed Early English west tower, the church also contains a brass commemorating three generations of the d’Isigny family dating from about 1580.
The d'Isigny (Disney) family owned the manor here and had a castle and a 17th century manor house built from the castle ruins, however nothing of these now remain. It is believed that the American film producer Walt Disney is a decedent of the Disney family from here, Walt Disney himself along with his family visited the village in 1949.
Not so long ago, I used to take (and post) a fair few shots of Cafe Racers. But, for whatever reason, I haven't done recently. So here is one.

As pointed out by 49er badger in the comments box, whilst it says Norton on the tank, it has a BSA engine so is technically a Norbsa.
Norton Junction is a key point on the Grand Union Canal, located near the village of Norton in Northamptonshire, England. It is where the Leicester Section (also known as the Leicester Line) branches off from the main line of the Grand Union Canal. The junction lies close to the famous Watford Locks, a flight of staircase locks that help boats navigate the elevation change. Norton Junction is historically significant for canal transport, serving as a crossroads for boaters traveling between London, Birmingham, and Leicester. The surrounding area is scenic, offering picturesque views of the English countryside.
A Norton prototype, the P800 of 1965 was an 800cc double overhead camshaft unit twin with a five-speed gearbox intended to replace the Atlas. Money being the usual problem, it never saw production. Who knows, it may even have been oil-tight.

I modified this Kodak No. 00 box camera to shoot square flames on 35mm. I guess I should have tested it before going through all that effort because the IQ is terrible. I typically like at least something to be sharp in my frames. I'm thinking pinhole is sometimes better than this... What do you think? Is it worth further experimentation?

A thing of real beauty.
Quite a challenge to try and get this right with all those "highlights" in the chrome against a relatively dark backdrop. Also trying not to appear in the reflection. Hopefully it works.
Norton Priory is a historic site in Norton, Runcorn, Cheshire, England, comprising the remains of an abbey complex dating from the 12th to 16th centuries, and an 18th-century country house; it is now a museum. The remains are a scheduled ancient monument and are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. They are considered to be the most important monastic remains in Cheshire.
The priory was established as an Augustinian foundation in the 12th century, and was raised to the status of an abbey in 1391. The abbey was closed in 1536, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries. Nine years later the surviving structures, together with the manor of Norton, were purchased by Sir Richard Brooke, who built a Tudor house on the site, incorporating part of the abbey. This was replaced in the 18th century by a Georgian house. The Brooke family left the house in 1921, and it was partially demolished in 1928. In 1966 the site was given in trust for the use of the general public.
Excavation of the site began in 1971, and became the largest to be carried out by modern methods on any European monastic site. It revealed the foundations and lower parts of the walls of the monastery buildings and the abbey church. Important finds included: a Norman doorway; a finely carved arcade; a floor of mosaic tiles, the largest floor area of this type to be found in any modern excavation; the remains of the kiln where the tiles were fired; a bell casting pit used for casting the bell; and a large medieval statue of Saint Christopher.
