Proper Tudorbethan #WindowsOnWednesday in Georgian gothic style: the lovely pink gatekeeper's lodge at Fulham Palace in west London, c. 1815 when Palace was residence of Bishops of London. Plus bonus #woodensday carved bargeboard in the gable. Fancy chimneys also fab, if a bit out of scale...
Side view of gatekeepers lodge at Fulham Palace in west London. Ground and first floor windows have leaded glass set in ogee topped lights. The top window of the extension shown is under a gable adorned with elaborately carved bargeboard. 
To the right side can be seen parts of further windows in the same style.
The house is painted pink, with a dark red tiled roof. Above this is a chimney stack with a group of large chimneys with twisting form.

We had a fantastic visit to the Charterhouse on Saturday. It is not only stunning and has a really interesting history, it also feels like an island of peace in Central London.
A great room with Tudor style ceiling, wooden floors and paintings hanging on green walls.A Tudor ceiling decorated with gold. A crest is visible in the middle and four red lions on the side.The picture shows a cloister mostly made of red bricks, the floor is made of stone. There are windows on the left and a row of lights on the right hand wall. The picture shows a courtyard; a well maintained lawn at the front with a Tudor building behind it.

Hello Bluesky! We are a quarterly magazine publishing the latest on #London’s #archaeology, history and heritage. ⚱️ You can subscribe here: www.londonarchaeologist.org.uk/subscribe.html
The front cover of the Spring 2024 edition of London Archaeologist magazine. Headlines are: Excavations at Stationers' Hall, Ave Maria Lane, EC4; The Curtain Road Gasworks at Principal Place, EC2; Monkey Skull from East Road, Hackney; Legion: New British Museum Exhibition; Roman Funerary Bed from Holborn; Remembering Brian Hobley. 

The cover image is of a ceramic Roman oil lamp, being cupped in a pair of hands wearing blue latex gloves. The centre of lamp depicts a Gladiator falling backwards, wearing a crested helmet with his left arm raised up to his face and brandishing a sword in his right hand. The hole for filling the lamp fits into the angle of his bent right knee and there is a small air hole in the nozzle channel along with a larger hole to take a burning wick.
