Yes, I believe they can delaminate due to impurities or mixed alloys, also could be the result of oxidation and corrosion. Blue/green patches could possibly be oxidized copper?

The Gardoms Edge stone is easy to miss but what a magical place! I've yet to visit Wet Witherns so I anticipate it may take a few attempts! 😂 I feel like there's so much at Barbrook I still haven't seen in multiple visits!

I was given this as a Christmas present and I was terrified of it! 😂

I had a lovely wander in Hathersage this week! I enjoyed finding the remains of a medieval cross and these wonderful gargoyles around St Michael's and All Angels

Currently at 69% of our target (nice) -- we really need to book Mango & the wonky kittens in for scans & treatment ASAP. So here's our promise: if we hit the goal by the end of the week, we will keep wobbly dwarf kitten Chessie and name her Smolla Paula www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

The yeeting wobblers. The tuxedo criminals. The black and white banditos. It's Smol Paul and his tiny sidekick, Smolla Paula!

Have you heard of William Stukeley? William Stukeley (1687–1765) joined the Society of Antiquaries in 1717. The following year he was elected the Society’s first Secretary.

William Stukeley (1687-1765) is depicted whole length standing in a garden, wearing a brown coat with gold frogging, white neckcloth, grey stockings and heavy black shoes. He is clean-shaven with a long grey wig and aged about forty. Scharf describes his coat as ‘dull crimson’ and his wig as brown. To the right is a gravel path with a stone basin of water in the foreground, on which is an Italianate baroque sculpture of sea nymphs, and another figure on a sea monster and dolphins. In the middle of the avenue is a classical style archway. To the left, on the base of a column, is a shield of the Stukeley arms with a double eagle displayed.

Looking for inspiration this summer? Why not visit the Landscapes Unlocked exhibition at Bakewell Visitor Centre. Discover stunning images from the Peak District National Park archive held at the Derbyshire Record Office. You might just find a new perspective on a familiar place!

The room has exposed stone walls, timber ceiling beams and a large black metal beam overhead. The photographs depict local traditions and community events, and are part of an exhibition displayed in a heritage building with blue carpeted flooring.

Are you interested in how interactive video games could inspire interest in heritage across new audiences? My student Sophie has designed a trailer for 'Ancient Kernow' - she would love you to watch it and take her short survey: youtu.be/Ilau7-52GAE
