Church of St Mary the Virgin, #Radwinter. #Essex

The lower stage of a 14th Century south porch. In 1869-70, W. E. Nesfield, architect, added the gabled framed upper storey.

Wonderful carving to massive timbers of the lower stage.

Impossible to miss the six stone circles atop the peat-rich wilds of Machrie Moor, but what lies buried beneath? Yesterday archaeologists revealed that a seventh circle lies under the surface. Under the surface: that dark and secret place where all that is wyrd smoulders ...

Bought a painting to cheer myself up.

Not terribly fashionable but I like it. It's by William Andrews Nesfield, a generally forgotten, but at the time important, landscape architect and before that a painter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...), who happens to be my great-great-great-great uncle.

This reminded me of the very cool “Of the Oak” art installation at Kew Gardens — which is based on imaging of a rare oak hybrid that was developed to be drought-resistant — if you see how dry Kew is this year, seems important!

But this is the story of the guy who made the hybrid, and his hubris
In 1762, at a nursery just outside Exeter, a Turkey oak (Q. cerris) and evergreen cork oak (Q. suber) spontaneously crossed, and a new hybrid arose - the Lucombe oak. This specimen was grown from a cutting taken from the original hybrid tree, making this one of the oldest Lucombe oaks in existence. When landscape designer William Nesfield (1793- 1881) produced a revised plan of the Arboretum in 1845, the already mature Lucombe oak disturbed the view of the newly proposed Syon Vista. It was uprooted and moved 20 m to its current location. The species is named after William Lucombe (1696-1794), the nurseryman who found it. He became so attached to the original hybrid tree that he had it felled and stored the wood under his bed, to be used for his coffin.

Title page from my copy of “Specimens of Mediaeval Architecture..” by English architect William Eden Nesfield published in 1862. The title page art with an allegory of architecture is decidedly not by a medieval artist; it’s by Albert Joseph Moore, who was part of the British Aesthetic Movement.
The title page of a book with the full Tuan’s publication information in a box in very medieval looking fanciful type. To its left is a large medieval S, the fist letter of the title, “Specimens,” and below them is an illustration of four figures with historical dates in line facing an allegorical figure of architecture sitting on a bench. Something like that. Booksky medievalsky art 🖼️ etc

William Andrews Nesfield, Kilchurn Castle (c. 1839). Collection: Wallace Collection, London.

#art #painting #19thcentury #landscape #castle #lake #mountains #cattle
Kilchurn Castle in the centre of the picture. Looming over the castle are the Grampian Mountains. The castle is surrounded on three sides by water (the fourth side cannot be seen in the painting). The sun peaks out between the clouds and lights up the castle walls. In the water, a small fishing boat with two men, one hauling in a net. In the foreground five cows with their feet in the water. On the right a few trees and shrubbery.

I'll be OK, I think. Thanks.

Manningham Lane, corner of Nesfield Street. I was filtering in the cycle lane. Driver turned right across my path into Nesfield Street. No space to stop. Hit his wing and ended up sprawled on his bonnet.

Lunch at the excellent Olde Jack Inn, #Calverhall today and a visit to the intriguing Victorian roadside Gothic of Holy Trinity church:

#Shropshire 🍽️💒🎈
The Olde Jack Inn Calverhall, which named after a local, historical drinking vessel (the Jacorra or Corra), which was lost over 100 years ago. Holy Trinity and its almshouses were originally built as a complex, in 1726, but the church was remodeled in the late Victorian era by the architect William Nesfield, who was also responsible for the main entrance gates at Kew Gardens.
