St George's Chapel, Windsor- imagine designing this and not living to see it finished. Bad luck Henry Janyns- absolute masterpiece. Bravo.

The sunsets are pulling in now. Good ones though.

A fragment of Georgian London in Dean Street. The paint of this shopfront was analysed by Patrick Baty.

St Albans today- installation of Andrew Rumsey as 11th bishop- wonderfully archaic site and building, with the reconstructed shrine of England’s first martyr- and its C15 watching gallery. Murals and ceilings:👌

Robert Sherborne's beautiful tomb monument at Chichester Cathedral. He died in 1536- the first wave of the Dissolution.

Wanted to see this for years- Wistman’s Wood, Dartmoor- a scant survival of native Atlantic rainforest. Sheep can’t get into its tumble of rocks. Timeless, true magic. More of this!

Grateful to the Teletubbies SS for reminding me to donate to the selfless and quietly heroic souls at RNLI. rnli.org/support-us/g...

This time of year, the sunset rakes across the 1829 turnpike sign that demanded pennies from carriage drivers heading into Bath from the west. Soon the railways came.The sign remained on the tollhouse, the thick lettering paint weathered less. The old sign then became a stable door. I love it.

Turn of C16 stained glass- exceptional quality and survival at Fairford, Gloucs.

Elfreth’s Alley, Philadelphia c.1703-1830s (plus restorations)- claimed the oldest continuously inhabited street in the US. I mean, there are always extents of survivals, and nothing stays intact, but seems legit.

Glastonbury ‘Tribunal’, not a court-house which lent the name, but a C15 merchant’s shop and lodging probably rented by the abbey.

A good piece. Except, "It is the premier university of south-west England." Just saying.

The Cosmati Pavement of Westminster Abbey, laid down c.1268 for Henry III, as the platform for coronations. A poem relates the mathematics of Creation; the central rose marble disc sliced from a Roman column represents chaos turned to order.

Put up a sconce light fitting and last night noticed that it reveals the ghost of a blocked door. It once led into a lost corner stair vice in the angle of a T- plan, between a hall and solar/ bedchamber from the early C16 until the 1630s.

Wonder why the UK allows us to do this to ourselves. ‘Free Market ‘, etc.
