Great Coxwell barn in Oxfordshire was built in 1292. Dendrochronology has shown that some of its timbers were felled in 1256, whilst the majority were felled in the winter of 1291. It was part of a Cistercian abbey founded by King John.

Have you ever seen a wren have a bath? No? Nor had I till just now. Filmed through a rain-spotted window & on my phone, so not perfect, but hope it brings you a spot of delight nonetheless 🪶

Father Thames:
Let us look at the River Thames.
One of England's watery gems.
Oily brown, greasy, muddy.
Looking foul, and smells of cruddy.
The conservancey say they’re cleaning it,
so why is it the colour of sh*t?

Yesterday I was lowered thro the tower boss at Beverley Minster, I saw the building as few ever will – the vast geometry of unfolding beneath me. Humbled to photograph this view, and grateful to DMPSurveying & Rope Rescue UK for their skill and care.

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.
