Triple ghostly entrances I say. First one bricked up, second one reduced, smallest one is out of use. 😳

Good morning everyone
Glorious view of Chatsworth in early April morning last year.

“That time will come and take my love away
This thought is as a death, which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.”
Here he is, The Bard, in Trinity Stratford upon Avon (died #otd 1616) keeping an eye on his grave, making sure no one will break his curse 🙏

The Mary Rose. I find it strangely affecting, that not only could it re-emerge from the past after more than four centuries, but also the hundreds of ordinary objects that were found with it, the possessions of the 500-odd crew. And, of course, the sheer human endeavour required

16th century money chest worked as a storage for cash sent by King Henry VII to complete King’s College Cambridge. Initially had 4 locks and another one added later making it 5. Keys were held individually by separate members of college officials.

“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.”

📷Some architectural beauties from Stratford upon Avon here

An extraordinary wall painting from c.1400 of St George in full armour, slaying a dragon. Uncovered in 2008 in St John's Church, #Mechelen , this rare survival would have been known to a young #AnneBoleyn when she resided at the court of Margaret of Austria. Simply breathtaking.

“When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.”
King Lear

One of my favourite quotes from Shakespeare 👍

Wonderful achievement! Congratulations! 👏

Magnificent altarpiece made in 1420-25 in Valencia, Spain. It illustrates legend of St. George in famous battle of El Puig, 1237 and his most legendary art of bravery: slaying the dragon

Beautiful times😍

The Malmesbury Market Cross
is truly a majestic sight to behold.

Grade I listed, late 15th century and stands in the middle of the town. It bears a sundial which is remarkably accurate.

Beautiful winter retreat if you are visiting Cotswolds in cold seasons. Not very easy to leave this gorgeous fireplace once you settled by it in cold, dark, winter’s day.
