The collapse in Martock churchyard gives us a chance to plug the *absolutely superb* @swheritagetrust.bsky.social Somerset Historic Environment Record which is an essential starting point for researching any physical element of Somerset's historic environment. It's one of the best there is. 🗃️

In reading & seeing Andy's work I always struggle to know which is more impactful - his writing or photos. In truth, the two combined are greater than their parts, he allows you to explore the importance of place and time from the comfort of home.

I wrote about my visit to Rudston this week — this ground is pregnant with the record of how we’ve tried to interpret our own spirituality: the ethereal, the in-between, the ghosts and the thin places.

'The Line of the Plough.' (1919) John Arnesby Brown's painting was the first picture he made in the spring following the end of WW1. It suggests the start of the cycle of life and new beginnings after the shattered landscapes he witnessed in France and Belgium during the war.

The village & the artist are both special to me.
For twenty years I lived 30 yards from this scene. I met my wife in a pub 20 yards away, and my eldest son was christened in the church immediately behind where he sat to paint this
