England's smallest Church
Lullington Church, also known as the Church of the Good Shepherd, on the South Downs at Lullington in East Sussex is one of several churches claimed to be the smallest church in England.
It was built from the remains of the chancel of an earlier church that was destroyed by fire, generally believed to have occurred at the time of Oliver Cromwell. It measures a mere 16 feet (5 metres) square and seats 20 people.
The original church is believed to date from the late 12th or early 13th century and was built as a chapel in the parish of Alfriston, owned by Battle Abbey, and later became a separate parish. In 1927 the parishes of Alfriston and Lullington were merged. The original dedication of the church is unknown, and in 2000 the Bishop of Chichester dedicated the church to the Good Shepherd.
Marylebone Walking Tour - London History
One of my favourite walks in London is through Marylebone High Street. Join me for this lovely walking tour full of London History and story-telling.
Marylebone used to be called the Manor of Tyburn, after the Tyburn river which flowed nearby.
Henry Viii had bought this whole manor of Tyburn and fenced off Regents Park as a deer Park.
King James I then sold off the southern part which ended up in the hands of the Cavendish family who married into the Earl of Oxford’s family.
Marylebone Road was then developed in 1756 to take pressure off Oxford street.
Because of the connotations of Tyburn tree where they used to hang people, they built a new church dedicated to St Mary.
St Mary Burne meant St Mary's church by the burne or river.
The new St Mary Church was built in 1810 and based on The Pantheon
Elizabeth Barret, the poet met Robert Browning a famous writer and fell in love and were married in secret in that church because her dad disapproved and disinherited her.
Nelson worshipped here and also Lord Byron was baptised here
Henry Higgins and Paul McCartney both lived in Wimpole Street.
Manchester Square is home to EMI House where the Please Please Me photo was taken and also the Wallace Collection which used to be Hertford House.
Then walk up Marylebone Lane, which was one of the original streets which was a country lane following the river Tyburn alongside.
It now runs underground.
In Wigmore Street is Debenham and Freebody which was a drapers in 18th century but couldn’t compete with Oxford Street.
Wigmore Hall originally had a Bechstein shop next-door and this was the Bechstein hall with best acoustics in London.
Beckstein had to leave because of the Trading with the Enemy act so it became Wigmore Hall where you can see concerts.
The Langham Hotel was built in the mid 19th century and had the first hydraulic life in the world.
*In 1889 the publisher Stoddart was looking for literary talent and came to London and invited Wilde and Doyle for dinner. It led to the writing of Dorian Grey and Sign of Four.

Places to see in ( Rossendale - UK )
Rossendale is a district with borough status in Lancashire, England, holding a number of small former mill towns centred on the valley of the River Irwell in the industrial North West. Rossendale combines modest size urban development with rural villages and is immediately south of the more populated town of Burnley, east of Blackburn and north of Bolton, Bury, Manchester and Rochdale, centred 15 miles (24 km) north of Manchester.
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the municipal boroughs of Bacup, Haslingden, Rawtenstall, part of Ramsbottom Urban District and Whitworth Urban District. Rossendale is twinned with the German town of Bocholt, located close to the Netherlands border.
The name Rossendale may also refer geographically to Rossendale Valley, and historically refers to the medieval Forest or Chase of Rossendale, which encompassed approximately the same area as the modern district. Rossendale is part of the Rossendale and Darwen constituency. Jake Berry MP has been the Member of Parliament for Rossendale and Darwen since 2010. All of Rossendale is unparished, except for Whitworth, which has a town council.
Rossendale is part of the Forest of Rossendale, which consists of the steep-sided valleys of the River Irwell and its tributaries, which flow from the Pennines southwards to Manchester and cut through the moorland which is characteristic of the area. It was given the designation of forest in medieval times denoting a hunting reserve.
The borough is linked by the motorway network to Manchester, Burnley and Blackburn via the A56/M65 and M66 motorways. Bordering Greater Manchester southwards, it is 17.4 miles to Deansgate (city centre) via the Edenfield by-pass and M66, with a journey time of around 30 minutes in a car. Alternatively the A56 route can be taken via Edenfield, Walmersley, Bury centre, Whitefield, Prestwich and Broughton.
Rossendale is the home to a large community of artists with several painters' studios, many of which are centred on the area around Waterfoot. Rossendale's only traditional Theatre is in Bacup . The Royal Court Theatre first opened in 1893 and has a thriving Youth Theatre called The Rossendale Musical Theatre Academy. A theatre and arts centre known as 'The Boo' is the home of the international touring Horse and Bamboo Theatre Company who specialise in visual theatre, often using distinctive masks. The painters and other artists who make up the major studios within the valley - Globe Arts, Prospect Studio, Valley Artists, the Slipper Studio - along with the Boo, and the See Gallery in Crawshawbooth, now work together to open their studios and premises each year at the Reveal Open Studios weekend.

The Most Modern Church Building in UK?
This has to be one of the most modern utilitarian Church Buildings in the entire UK.
This is the new Stranmillis Evangelical Presbyterian church building on the Stranmillis road Belfast.
Some people will obviously like the more traditional type of church architecture but I think this building looks fabulous. it is sited in student land and looks like the modern university buildings found nearby. In that sense it fits in well. Stranmillis Evangelical church leaders have obviously put their heads together and come up with a way of producing a building that is multi functional, practical, very modern and I think pleasing to the eye.
Well done Stranmillis Evangelical Church for taking this leap of architectural faith as well as jumping into the 21st century with this fabulous looking building. I wish you well.
Places to see in ( Marazion - UK )
Places to see in ( Marazion - UK )
Marazion is a civil parish and town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Marazion is situated on the shore of Mount's Bay, 2 miles east of Penzance and 1 mile east of Long Rock. St Michael's Mount is half-a-mile offshore from Marazion. At low water a causeway links it to the town and at high water passenger boats carry visitors between Marazion and St Michael's Mount.
Marazion lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Marazion is a thriving tourist resort with an active community of artists who produce and sell paintings and pottery in the town's numerous art galleries.
Remains of an ancient bronze furnace, discovered near the town, tend to prove that tin smelting was practised here at an early period. Marazion was not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1088. Marazion was once a flourishing town, owing its prosperity to the throng of pilgrims who came to visit St Michael's Mount (this ceased at the time of the Reformation). During the first half of the 16th century it was twice plundered; first by the French, and later by Cornish rebels. The rise and progress of the neighbouring borough of Penzance in the 17th century marginalised Marazion.
The West Cornwall Railway opened Marazion railway station on 11 March 1852 and its goods yard handled a large volume of perishable traffic – fish, fruit and vegetables – from the surrounding farms and harbours. Marazion station closed to passenger traffic in October 1964 and to freight in December 1965. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution opened a 'Marazion Lifeboat Station' in 1990, although the D-class (EA16) inshore lifeboat was actually kept in a shed on the quayside on St Michael's Mount.
The lack of notable or historic buildings led Nikolaus Pevsner to omit the town entirely from the first edition of his Buildings of England account of Cornwall. In the second edition Marazion is described as attractive as a whole and he says of the area near the ferry port: the cobbled pavements and old houses .. give a look of Lyme Regis to the old centre of the town. Nevertheless, several notable architectural buildings lie in the eastern part of Marazion including Chymorvah House and the Mount Haven Hotel next to it, once one of the most haunted hotels in Cornwall, with views of the mount from its terrace. Also of note are Marazion Town Hall and Marazion War Memorial. The original parish church is at St Hilary. In Marazion there was a chapel of ease dedicated to St Hermes (recorded in 1308): by 1735 it had become ruinous and was rebuilt. In 1861 a new church (dedicated to All Saints) was built on the same site which became a parish church in 1893.

Dunfermline - Abbey - Robert The Bruce Last Resting Place.
Dunfermline Scots: Dunfaurlin, Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Phàrlain) is a town and former Royal Burgh in Fife, Scotland, on high ground 3 miles (4.8 km) from the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. According to a 2008 estimate, Dunfermline has a population of 46,430, making it the second-biggest settlement in Fife. The town's name comes from the Gaelic words dun (meaning fortified hill), fearam (crooked) and linn (stream). The area around Dunfermline became home to the first settlers in the Neolithic period, but did not gain recognition, until the Bronze Age as a place of importance. The town was first recorded in the 11th century, with the marriage of Malcolm III, King of Scotland and Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline. As his Queen consort, Margaret established a new church dedicated to the Holy Trinity which evolved into an Abbey under their son, David I in 1128. The graveyard of this abbey would become the burial place for many of Scotland's kings and queens.
There have been various interpretations of the name, Dunfermline.[5] The first element, dun translated from Gaelic, has been accepted as a (fortified) hill, which it is assumed to be referring to the rocky outcrop as the site of Malcolm Canmore's tower in Pittencrieff Glen (now Pittencrieff Park).[6] The rest of the name is problematic.[6] The second element, the ferm may have been an alternative name for the tower burn according to a medieval record published in 1455 and that together with the Lyne Burn to the south, suggest the site of a fortification between these two watercourses.[5][6]
The first record of a settlement in the Dunfermline area was in the Neolithic period. This evidence includes finds of a stone axe; some flint arrowheads and a carved stone ball which was found near the town.[7] A cropmark which is understood to have been used as a possible mortuary enclosure has been found at Deanpark House, also near the town. By the time of the Bronze Age, the area was beginning to show some importance. Important finds included a bronze axe in Wellwood and a gold torc from the Parish Churchyard.[7] Cist burials from the Bronze Age have also been discovered at both Crossford and Masterton, the latter of which contains a pair of armlets, a bronze dagger and a set necklace believed to have complemented a double burial.[7]
The first historic record for Dunfermline was made in the 11th century.[8] According to the fourteenth-century chronicler, John of Fordun, Malcolm III, King of Scotland (reign 1058--93) married his second bride, the Anglo-Hungarian princess, Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline between 1068 and 1070;[9] the ceremony was performed by Forhad, the last Celtic bishop of St Andrews.[8][10]
Birth: Jul. 11, 1274
Death: Jun. 7, 1329
Scottish monarch. The son of Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick and Marjory of Carrick, he was a descendant of Alexander II, King of Scots. He was married to Isabella of Mar in 1295, and Elizabeth DeBurgh in 1302. He was the father of two sons and three daughters. Around 1298, when Scotland was under English rule, he was appointed a Guardian of Scotland along with John Comyn. It was discovered that Comyn intended to sell out his country and become a puppet king under Edward I, and Bruce killed him in 1306. He was then taken to Scone and crowned Robert I in March. He then began a guerilla war against Edward I. While not initially successful, he gradually gained support and captured several castles. In 1314, at the Battle of Bannockburn, although vastly outnumbered, he defeated the English forces. King Edward II agreed to sign the Treaty of Edinburgh in 1328, recognizing Scotland's independence. Gravely ill with leprosy, Bruce died at Cardross the following year. His body was entombed at Dunfermline Abbey, while his embalmed heart was taken on Crusade by Sir James Douglas (Black Douglas) before being returned to Scotland and entombed at Melrose Abbey.

Triumph Bonneville Motorcycle Road Trip 10/2017ille Motorcycle Road Trip 10/2017
A long day riding my 2015 Triumph Bonneville T100 Newchurch with my buddy. We decided to make the best out of a warm Monday in October . We drove up to Sloatsburg from NYC to get some breakfast at a local diner on Route 17. After, we made our way towards Bear Mountain, making stops along the way! Once we took in the breath taking sight from the peak, we made our way to fill up our own personal gas tank. We ate some AMAZING BBQ at a local restaurant on Route 9. After we've had our fill, we decided to head home. Along the way I decided to make a detour and navigate my way towards the New Croton Dam, a place that has been on my bucket list for a few years. This was an amazing day long trip and I hope I was able to make my experience entertaining for you!
