Built in 1897 by Ewan Harper to replace an earlier chapel. The openwork spire is a local landmark. Closed in 2009 due to structural problems together with the congregation joining with St. Luke’s as an Ecumenical Church called The Bridge based on the St. Luke's site.
The building has been sold for commercial use and a planning application has been submitted for the demolition of the building and development for housing. It is hoped that the spire can be saved in some way.
'Signed' and dated: Georg Crossman, 1597 ; before 1863 this was located in the nave at the southeast corner of the crossing.

Borobudur in the morning fog.
Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple. Built in the 9th century, construction is estimated to have taken 75 years. Its nine levels are divided into three tiers: 5 concentric square terraces, 3 circular platforms, and 1 monumental stupa. The circular platforms hold 72 openwork stupas, each with a sitting Buddha statue inside. The temple was abandoned around the 14th century.
The Borobudur Temple Compounds—Borobudur Temple plus the smaller Mendut and Pawon Temples situated along a straight axis off to the east—were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991.

"The Unschlitthaus in Nuremberg is located in the old town of Lorenz on the east side of Unschlittplatz. Built in 1491, it originally served the imperial city as a granary and later as the seat of the Unschlittamt. The monument is a station on the Historic Mile.
The Unschlitthaus was built in 1491 by Hans Beheim the Elder as one of seven “gran bins” for the city. Stylistically noteworthy are the massive sandstone construction, the elaborate Gothic portal and the openwork Gothic stepped gable. From a structural point of view, it is interesting that the Unschlitthaus was built into the old city moat and the construction incorporated the eastern moat wall. 76 roof hatches ensured ventilation of the grain floors in the four-story roof structure.
The store takes its name from the Unschlittamt, which was housed on the ground floor between 1562 and 1835 and served as the city's monopoly authority for unschlitt or tallow: all butchers had to sell the waste fat here. Until the 19th century, the mud was of great importance as a raw material for tallow candles (the poorer people's candles), soap, wagon grease and shoe wax.
Between 1839 and 1899 the building served as a school and a weights and measures office, and in 1899 the municipal pawnshop moved in.
During the Second World War, the northern part of the Unschlitthaus was destroyed in the RAF bombing raid on January 2, 1945 and was rebuilt after the war. The southern part of the building, including the impressive roof structure, has been preserved in its original condition.
On the west side of the building there is a wall fountain with the bronze face mask of Hieserlein (around 1400, original in the Germanic National Museum). The term 'Hiserlein' could refer to the trickling water of the fountain, but in Franconian the word 'Hiesel' is also an abbreviation of the male name Matthias or a name for a simple person. In 1974 the fountain, which had been removed 100 years earlier, was reinstalled.
In addition to the pawnshop, the Office for Urban Research and Statistics and the Electoral Office are also housed here.
Nuremberg (/ˈnjʊərəmbɜːrɡ/ NURE-əm-burg; German: Nürnberg [ˈnʏʁnbɛʁk]; in the local East Franconian dialect: Nämberch [ˈnɛmbɛrç]) is the largest city in Franconia, the second-largest city in the German state of Bavaria, and its 545,000 inhabitants make it the 14th-largest city in Germany.
Nuremberg sits on the Pegnitz, which carries the name Regnitz from its confluence with the Rednitz in Fürth onwards (Pegnitz→ Regnitz→ Main→ Rhine→ North Sea), and on the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal, that connects the North Sea to the Black Sea. Lying in the Bavarian administrative region of Middle Franconia, it is the largest city and unofficial capital of the entire cultural region of Franconia. The city is surrounded on three sides by the Reichswald, a large forest, and in the north lies Knoblauchsland (garlic land), an extensive vegetable growing area and cultural landscape.
The city forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring cities of Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach, which is the heart of an urban area region with around 1.4 million inhabitants, while the larger Nuremberg Metropolitan Region has a population of approximately 3.6 million. It is the largest city in the East Franconian dialect area (colloquially: "Franconian"; German: Fränkisch).
Nuremberg and Fürth were once connected by the Bavarian Ludwig Railway, the first steam-hauled and overall second railway opened in Germany (1835). Today, the U1 of the Nuremberg Subway, which is the first German subway with driverless, automatically moving railcars, runs along this route. Nuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg "Albrecht Dürer") is the second-busiest airport in Bavaria after Munich Airport, and the tenth-busiest airport of the country.
Institutions of higher education in Nuremberg include the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), Germany's 11th-largest university, with campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg and a university hospital in Erlangen (Universitätsklinikum Erlangen), Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm and Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg. The Nuremberg exhibition centre (Messe Nürnberg) is one of the biggest convention center companies in Germany and operates worldwide.
Nuremberg Castle and the city's walls, with their many towers, are among the most impressive in Europe. Staatstheater Nürnberg is one of the five Bavarian state theatres, showing operas, operettas, musicals, and ballets (main venue: Nuremberg Opera House), plays (main venue: Schauspielhaus Nürnberg), as well as concerts (main venue: Meistersingerhalle). Its orchestra, the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg, is Bavaria's second-largest opera orchestra after the Bavarian State Opera's Bavarian State Orchestra in Munich. Nuremberg is the birthplace of Albrecht Dürer and Johann Pachelbel. 1. FC Nürnberg is the most famous football club of the city and one of the most successful football clubs in Germany. Nuremberg was one of the host cities of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Franconia (German: Franken, pronounced [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍]; Franconian: Franggn [ˈfrɑŋɡŋ̍]; Bavarian: Frankn) is a region of Germany, characterised by its culture and Franconian dialect (German: Fränkisch).
Franconia is made up of the three Regierungsbezirke of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia in Bavaria, the adjacent, Franconian-speaking, South Thuringia, south of the Thuringian Forest—which constitutes the language boundary between Franconian and Thuringian— and the eastern parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in Baden-Württemberg.
Those parts of the Vogtland lying in Saxony (largest city: Plauen) are sometimes regarded as Franconian as well, because the Vogtlandian dialects are mostly East Franconian. The inhabitants of Saxon Vogtland, however, mostly do not consider themselves as Franconian. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the Hessian-speaking parts of Lower Franconia west of the Spessart (largest city: Aschaffenburg) do consider themselves as Franconian, although not speaking the dialect. Heilbronn-Franconia's largest city of Heilbronn and its surrounding areas are South Franconian-speaking, and therefore only sometimes regarded as Franconian. In Hesse, the east of the Fulda District is Franconian-speaking, and parts of the Oden Forest District are sometimes regarded as Franconian for historical reasons, but a Franconian identity did not develop there.
Franconia's largest city and unofficial capital is Nuremberg, which is contiguous with Erlangen and Fürth, with which it forms the Franconian conurbation with around 1.3 million inhabitants. Other important Franconian cities are Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Ansbach and Coburg in Bavaria, Suhl and Meiningen in Thuringia, and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The German word Franken—Franconians—also refers to the ethnic group, which is mainly to be found in this region. They are to be distinguished from the Germanic people of the Franks, and historically formed their easternmost settlement area. The origins of Franconia lie in the settlement of the Franks from the 6th century in the area probably populated until then mainly by the Elbe Germanic people in the Main river area, known from the 9th century as East Francia (Francia Orientalis). In the Middle Ages the region formed much of the eastern part of the Duchy of Franconia and, from 1500, the Franconian Circle. The restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon, after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, saw most of Franconia awarded to Bavaria." - info from Wikipedia.

A Tina Richard Herman design published by Shepherd's Bush: "French Openwork". Designed as a sampler, but I made it into a sachet for my particularly precious and heirloom handkerchiefs. I enjoyed doing this because there was such a variety of stitches. I needed a magnifier for some rows!
The iconostasis of the 18th century with a collection of icons from the 17th-19th centuries is the brightest example of the high artistic skill of icon painters and wood carvers. The four-tier iconostasis with openwork carving is made in the Baroque style and includes 75 icons, some of them are Stroganov's painting.

Four early twentieth century "turtle mark" (Schildkröt) dolls made by the Rheinische Gummi- und Celluloidfabrik, Mannheim.
From left to right:
1) celluloid shoulderhead marked with a turtle in a rhomb, rivet-jointed cloth body, fixed brown glass eyes, worn mohair wig;
2) celluloid shoulderhead marked with a turtle in a rhomb (nose cracked), rivet-jointed leather body, celluloid lower arms, (worn and mended) cloth lower legs, fixed brown glass eyes, human hair wig;
3) celluloid shoulderhead marked with K&R (the "&" in a six-pointed star) over a turtle without a rhomb, i.e. made by Schildkröt for Kämmer & Reinhardt (Waltershausen, Thuringia) ca. 1900, leather rivet-jointed body, celluloid lower arms (fingers of the right hand broken off), blue glass sleeping eyes, blond mohair wig (dissolving);
4) celluloid shoulderhead with moulded hair marked with a turtle without a rhomb (tip of nose worn away), fixed brown glass eyes, rivet-jointed leather body, porcelain lower arms (one missing).
The Kämmer & Reinhardt doll is the only one wearing a complete set of antique clothes - camisole, drawers, petticoat and dress, with pale blue openwork stockings and leather shoes (with their original metal-tipped laces). The others are redressed in appropriate clothes made from antique materials (the girl with the dark plaits is wearing vintage or antique combinations underneath, her "sister" with the moulded hair has her original drawers and very worn stockings underneath her replacement clothes).

At the end of May 2020, while still on lockdown, but restrictions eased, we went for our morning walk from the Edstone Aqueduct and then along part of the Stratford-on-Avon Canal in Warwickshire, before turning back towards the aqueduct.
Edstone Aqueduct is one of three aqueducts on a 4 miles (6 km) length of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal in Warwickshire. All are unusual in that the towpaths are at the level of the canal bottom. At 475 feet (145 m), Edstone is the longest cast iron aqueduct in England. It crosses a minor road, the Birmingham and North Warwickshire railway and the trackbed of the former Alcester Railway. There was once a pipe from the side of the canal that enabled locomotives to draw water to fill their tanks.
The aqueduct is a Grade II* listed structure.
