When it was excavated in 1882, Clandon Barrow near Dorchester yielded several treasures, including a jet mace head, an amber cup and a bronze dagger. Most spectacular of all was a gold lozenge with incised geometric design. All of these finds are now on show @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social. #FindsFriday

Genuinely restorative to walk in sunshine again 🥺
(I routed myself from Clandon to Guildford stations via Newlands Corner and Pewley Down, 6 miles, about 2h30m and off the charts level of smugness for how nice it was)

One of my favourite ruins in Rome is hidden within the convent of S. Trinità dei Monti, at the head of the Spanish Steps. Not an “authentic” ruin at all, it is a clever trompe l’oeil (or fake) in pain...

Helios is currently at Basildon Park and looking spectacular, even after the sun sets.
Soon it will travel to Clandon Park in Surrey, Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, and then Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire: buff.ly/lZBNpDA
Have you seen it yet?

First journey done, it’s good to be back in the Big Chair again. And I had a treat, too! Reported a precarious tree outside Clandon. Welcome back to the Iron Road, Chris!!

The precision and time it must have taken to make those marks is astounding. Like the gold Clandon barrow lozenge in the County museum. Beautiful..

There is a detailed section, including videos, of the construction of a replica at the museum, working a sheet of thin gold leaf with a bone stylus…. If you are in the area, it is well worth a visit

I trust the National Trust to get it right. I last visited Clandon many years ago, long before the fire. It was beautiful and the fire was a disaster.
However, restoring Clandon is not the same as preserving, as NT were doing pre-fire. RT have an agenda which is rooted in politics, not what’s best.
