This image of Bolton Priory from the 1850s by Joseph Cundall (1818–1895) and Philip Henry Delamotte (1821–1889)is really quite interesting. The priory looks to be in a very precarious state. The priory was dissolved in 1539, and the Clifford family, who were the former

I was watching one of my local swan families yesterday. I was concerned that the number of cygnets has dropped from 5 to 4, but then I noticed that one of them was taking a ride on Mum’s back ❤️

The brilliance of Karl Parsons' East window in St Philip's, Leicester, shines forth in this detail from the tracery, for #TraceryTuesday
Parsons' notes say: "Victory bears the Palm of triumph...The topmost tracery openings are filled by a symbol of the Trinity." @stroudstory.bsky.social

From left, Queen Charlotte, simple primrose, and magenta hardy salvia blooms, with leaves that have a scent of blackcurrant when gently pinched.
