LOWER SLAUGHTER - the OLD MILL
Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire
Situated in the area known as the 'Cotswolds', the name Slaughter comes from the Old English word 'slothre' meaning 'muddy place'. Through the village, and crossed by two small footbridges, runs the River Eye, and at the west end of the village is the Old Mill, which was still in operation until 1958, and is today, a museum, a mill shop and a cafe (try the home-made ice-cream). In 2011, Copse Hill Road, which runs through the centre of the village, was named 'the most romantic street in Britain'.
Cotswold Walks The Slaughters
Guided by the book 'Walking the Cotswolds with Children' by Dave Meredith. Published by Sigma Leisure.
The Cotswold Slaughters, upper and lower, are the thinking man’s Bourton on the Water, just as beautiful but without the ‘tourist merchandise shops', so a lot quieter. In fact the Slaughters are within walking distance of Bourton on the Water, and not very far from Stow on the Wold, another Cotswold Honey pot and sometimes referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds. Lower Slaughter has a grand old mill now turned into a museum which is well worth a visit if you are looking for something to do on a day out. The clear waters of the mill stream meander through the villages in timeless fashion. The mill was last used commercially in 1960
There are some stunning buildings here including the old manor house Church of St Mary and grand building housing restaurants.
Upper Slaughter is reached by following the mill stream up river, again lovely mellow Cotswold stone buildings are laid out in eye appealing fashion, and the river ford at the bottom of the village provides some entertainment or a chance to paddle if you feel inclined. Wandering about will lead to the discovery of the old water pump, the old school building and terraced workers houses sitting quietly by the river eye. The walk is flat and easy, but boots would be needed after a wet spell.
Lower Slaughter Part Two
A sharp crystal evening, golden sunlight casting long blue shadows. What a joy to arrive in Lower Slaughter and wander along the river with only the ducks, the jackdaws and a few hardy visitors for company. The jackdaws seem at home in the trees along the River Eye, occasionally descending to hop along the rooftops or to peer at discarded bread crumbs with their grey heads at an angle. Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of slohtre, a marshy place. Many visit Bourton on the water fewer travel an extra mile to see Lower Slaughter it's smaller, quieter but equally picturesque neighbour.
Stone cottages line the north bank of the river with a small green at their centre, this miniature area of grass is known as The Square and has a Gothic drinking fountain as it's only adornment.The clear stream water is only visible as it eddies round the piers of the low stone bridges that span it's broad flow. Follow the canalised river to the upper end of the village and you will find a 19th century brick corn mill with white water crashing over the mill race and 15ft water wheel still turning with the flow. On the opposite bank towards the middle of the village are the Village Hall of 1887 and the National School by Edmund B. Ferrey 1871. Near where the road crosses the river the south bank is dominated by large and luxurious-looking hotel.
The church was rebuilt in 1866-7 by Benjamin Ferrey, the design draws on Early English and Geometrical Decorated styles and though it replaced a picturesque medieval building with a saddle-back tower the Victorian design sits well among the more ancient stone buildings that surround it. Only a Transitional Norman north arcade survives with scalloped capitals and waterholding bases joined by pointed double-chamfered arches. The church has a nave with a north aisle, chancel, south porch and a west tower with broached spire the tip of which was replaced in 1998. Elegant black marble shafts ornament the chancel arch but a similar use of marble in Ferrey's east window was lost when Hoare and Wheeler provided a new east window and an Italian alabaster reredos depicting the Crucifixion in 1910. Next to the altar a 13th century piscina survives from the older church. The stone font and pulpit are part of Ferrey's design and there are areas of floor tiling by Godwin. The east window has glass by James Powell and Sons and they provided the attractive design in the north aisle. The west window of the north aisle and the west tower window are by Clayton and Bell 1867. Most of the memorials in the church commemorate the Whitmore family who occupied the neighbouring manor House for more than 300 years. The west tower has six bells, one of c.1450 by Robert Hendley of Gloucester inscribed Santa Anna ORA Pro Nobis St.Anne pray for us. Two are dated 1683 by Edward Neale of Burford and three of 1867 by John Warner and Sons of London.
To the north-east of the churchyard is a 16th century dovecote which is said to have held 1000 birds.
Lower Slaughter lies just off the Fosseway near Bourton on the Water about an hour form Stratford-upon-avon

Rare 1920s Footage: All-Black Towns Living the American Dream | National Geographic
By the 1920s, Oklahoma was home to some 50 African-American towns, in addition to a large and prosperous black community living in the city of Tulsa. These towns and their self-reliant middle class and affluent residents are documented by the home movies of Reverend S. S. Jones, an itinerant minister and businessman. Known and respected by the citizens of the towns whose lives he captured on film, Rev. Jones’s work offers revealing glimpses of these communities as a haven for African Americans who very often faced discrimination elsewhere in America. The subjects are everyday life: a family on the front porch of their bungalow, shop workers at a storefront, farmers plowing their fields, children playing on seesaws in a schoolyard. Much of the material documents the economic life of the towns, from business districts filled with prosperous merchants to the homes of successful professionals, with an abundant countryside beyond. As Rhea Combs, curator of film and photography for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, points out in her commentary, here we even find a married couple who were oil barons, proof of the extraordinary progress made in the relatively short time since the end of slavery. The fashions and hairstyles, automobiles and horses, and even such details as a man manually pumping gasoline at a filling station make the films a fascinating record of the lives of Americans, and African Americans in particular, in the early 20th century.

City of Gold, South Pass City - Main Street, Wyoming
From the initial discovery of gold in the mid 1800's to the creation of a state historic site, South Pass City has witnessed much of Wyoming's history. In addition to being the site of Wyoming's first big gold strike, South Pass City was instrumental in Wyoming becoming a territory and ultimately a state. It was the birthplace of women's suffrage, the first territory to grant women the right to vote and hold public office. But South Pass City is perhaps best known as Wyoming's first boom and bust town, with hard working and hard drinking miners, loose women, gambling and the entrepreneurial businesses who profited from their dreams of instant wealth.

Esmee Quodbach: The Last American Versailles: The Widener Collection at Lynnewood Hall
Esmee Quodbach, Assistant Director, Center for the History of Collecting, Frick Art Reference Library, The Frick Collection
This symposium is organized in conjunction with the Philadelphia
Museum of Art’s exhibition Old Masters Now: Celebrating the
Johnson Collection, November 3, 2017–February 19, 2018.
In 1917, John G. Johnson, the most famous lawyer of his day, left
his astonishing trove of European art to the city of Philadelphia.
One hundred years later, we continue to gain new insight into the
formation of one of this country’s most remarkable collections of
treasures by the great masters, including Botticelli, Hieronymus
Bosch, Titian, Rembrandt, and Monet. Far from being a static
group of objects, the Johnson Collection is subject to constant
study and scrutiny, inviting us to consider Johnson’s legacy in the
context of the rich tradition of art collecting in Philadelphia over
the centuries
Symposium presented at the Philadelphia Museum of Art November 3 & 4, 2017

Triplanetary by E. E. Doc Smith
Triplanetary is the first book in E. E. Doc Smith's Lensman series, the father of the space opera genre. Physics, time, and politics never stand in the way of a plot that gallops ahead without letup in this classic space opera. Come enjoy this story of yesteryear, set in tomorrow, where real women ignite love at a glance, real men achieve in days what governments manage in decades, and aliens are an ever-present threat to Life-As-We-Know-It!
