Lovely wall paintings, Daniel; I especially like the one of St Ursula with all the little faces peeping out from under her mantle; I'd never read that story...

Hi Marion Please forgive me, I have tried twice to post photos with this blog, but both times they have vanished, I'm new to this, so I am probably doing...
You did nothing wrong - they were waiting to be moderated. The first message which I copied had no pictures attached. I am deleting all bar one of the pics in...
Chris Some good pictures here, Thanks! Normally I would find the window at Blatherwyke rather twee, but the colours are wonderful - do you know who it is by? I...
As a kid I built a huge Lego cathedral with two west towers and a huge central tower. It lived on top of the piano with the stick insects and was my last Lego...
Thanks Phil.. Here it is to the proper address... Son Jeffery would say'its-yer-age-deer!' I leave it to his wife to sort him out despite the fact that he's...
A couple of questions: how much was 100 pounds in the 1680's and Thomas Coles left a "close" to the parish for pudding. What is a "close." Very interesting,...
Bill, That church is in a pretty setting. It's funny to me that it should be called Brotherton. That is a name I have never heard of, outside of New Jersey. ...

(pictures to churchpictures) Okay folks. Here are the rest of the pictures of Mount Calvary/the Stations of the Cross, at Our Lady of Pompeii. If you can...

A hundred pounds was a lot of money. I have a copy of the constable's accounts for the village of Upton in Nottinghamshire which goes from 1640-1666 and the...
"I do like the scenery in these American pictures but am amazed at how much the church-buildings do all look exactly the same. It's almost as if the architect...
I assume that Brotherton is/was the name of early residents in the area. That is not unusual. In Morgan county alone, there are several named after local...
Good question Daniel. At first glance I thought ostrich or emu but it clearly cannot be because Australia was unknown. Judging from the long thin legs, I'd...
Thanks for the details. As for your supplemental - what a fantastic panel! You could write a whole novel around these expressions! I was drawn to the smug...
Hi Barry Thanks for pictures from Our Lady of Pompeii, I was particularly amazed by the Stations of the Cross. If I had seen anything like this in England I...
Nope. definitely not cookie-cutter! Stations really interesting. I guess the glass over the panels was to protect them from acid-rain erosion. Otherwise,...
Les, I suppose the glass is to keep rain out. I don't know if you noticed, but there is a light fixture in each one of them. It's visible in the picture of #4...
