Southwell Minster is a remarkably preserved piece of Romanesque church architecture, dating from between 1108-50. The only English church to retain its full set of three complete Norman towers, the nave and transepts retain their original 12th century appearance, whilst the eastern limb was replaced by the present early Gothic choir in c1230 after its Norman predecessor was found to be too small. The last substantial addition to the building was the fine Decorated chapter house on the north side a few decades later in 1284.
The Minster was originally built as a collegiate church but stripped of this status at the Reformation, becoming merely a parish church (albeit one of the grandest in the country) for several centuries until finally being elevated to cathedral status in 1884 as the seat of the new Nottinghamshire diocese. Though on a more modest scale than most of our great medieval cathedrals, Southwell Minster fits its cathedral status so well that it is hard to imagine it not being built as such, though Southwell itself does seem a surprisingly quiet location for so grand a church, a small rural town that has become England's smallest cathedral city.
Inside the Norman character of the church is preserved in the subdued lighting of the 12th century nave and transepts, whilst east of the crossing, beyond the fine medieval choir screen, all is Gothic in the 13th century choir and aisles, light, airy and lit by tall lancet windows.
Perhaps the most famous part of the building is the octagonal chapter house entered from the north choir aisle via a vestibule. Whilst a gem of medieval architecture in its own right, the building is most renowned for its superb foliate carvings, the finest and most delicately carved to survive from medieval England The technical skill and unusually naturalistic treatment of the carved capitals and spandrels here means the 'Leaves of Southwell' should not be missed by any visitor.
Little remains of the Minster's original furnishing or decoration, following Civil War damage and a major fire caused by lightning strike in the early 18th century (which affected the high wooden ceilings of nave and crossing and the pyramid spires of the west towers, later replaced to their original design). It has however been embellished in more recent years with some outstanding glass including the huge west window installed at the end of the 20th century.
Southwell Minster is a delight to visit, and perhaps the most peaceful of all English cathedrals. For more see the link below:-
Our three kitten rescues from last year that I havent posted for awhile, still with us and probably will remain since they have become part of the household. Two sisters and a brother (front) they are the most loving of cats, here taking time out from watching the birds on the feeder.
Mina, Aery, and Maria were the only Koreans adventurous enough to join the party. Aery looks like she's singing.
Three modes of transport - the Sound of Scarba ferry unloading cars at Hunter's Quay and, honestly, the seaplane is the little dot on the right. Either that or it's a speck of dirt on my lens. It was a lovely day for a trip on the seaplane.
Three Rivers, California is near the entrance to Sequoia National Park on Highway 198. Oaks like these can be found all over the city.
A fine specimen of a Japanese made three speed, with a lugged hi-ten frame. Shimano three speed coaster brake hub. Nice Rampar branded block bottle dynamo/lamp setup.
Most people think "10 speed" when they think of Japanese bikes from the 70s and 80s, so spotting a three-speed version is always special for me.
This could be from around 1974, according to this catalog page:
I caught these three Flickers hanging out on a branch. There was a lot of sqwaking going on, and now I see that one of the is excavating a nest hole....hopefully soon I can get baby shots!
The Taj Mahal (meaning Crown of the Palace) is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned 1628–1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre)[5] complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
Very simple pattern, started and finished in a few hours with lots of breaks.
Ideal for a return to sewing, it feels like ages since I have sewn.
Very pleased with it, as is Olivia, who helped me choose the fabrics and sat supervising some of the time I was sewing too.
I made a 104cm, length is great and can easily be made longer because the ribbon fastening is so adjustable.
