Temple Newsam <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The extraordinary Temple Newsam<\/a> house near Leeds. The Temple refers to the Knights Templar<\/a>, who owned the estate until the order was suppressed in 1377.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The original Tudor building was built in the early 16th C, but the current appearance of the building is Jacobean (early 17th C).<\/p>\n

Caring for Life Open Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Horse shoeing demonstration at the Caring for Life<\/a> Open Day at Crag House Farm (close to Leeds).<\/p>\n

Foghorn Requiem<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Foghorn Requiem<\/a> was a piece composed to mark the loss of foghorns in an era where GPS means that\u00a0navigation is unaffected by fog. The piece was “performed” by (L) a lone trumpeter, (R) a brass band, boats at sea, and, the star attraction, the Souter foghorn<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The piece itself was mostly tuneless and avant garde, but was atmospherically rounded off by sound of the foghorn\u00a0dying away as\u00a0its reserves of air were exhausted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The coast near Souter and Marsden Rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

St. Paul’s, Jarrow, contains some fascinating Anglo-Saxon features. It is\u00a0strange to think that Bede<\/a> would have\u00a0known these same stones.<\/p>\n

Marley Hill depot\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Carriages and tracks at the Marley Hill depot of the Tanfield Railway<\/a>. Sadly P. & J. R. doesn’t refer to Paul and Jason’s railway, but rather the former Pontop and Jarrow railway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Clock and (R) the enormous wheel lathe at the Marley Hill engine shed.<\/p>\n
