6) Kinlet, St John, Shropshire. In the north chapel is a C16th monument to Sir John & Elizabeth Blount. Again, a very fine quality memorial. Quite stunning. #church #history #medieval #architecture #shropshire
Bad news. The Wesley Chapel in Hartlepool caught fire yesterday. It was being renovated to become a hotel. It is one of our Top Ten Endangered Buildings. itv.com/news/tyne-tees…
A section of the late fifteenth century wall paintings at The Commandery, Worcester - discovered in 1935 under a layer of whitewash. The ‘painted chamber’ is believed to date back to the time of the Hospital of St Wulfstan. #wallsonwednesday
Great stuff. Lovely building rescued when demolished due to city centre road widening. Framing characteristic of c1575-1610. Hope it will be fully repaired after some great local campaigning.
At Golden Lion Cannon Hill Park Birmingham to hear about plans to rescue historic building with colleagues from @HistoricEngland , @birmingham ct and others
At just before 11am this morning (6 November 2023) two people entered Room 30 of the National Gallery. The pair appeared to strike The Toilet of Venus (‘The Rokeby Venus’) by Velázquez with what appeared to be emergency rescue hammers. The room was cleared of visitors and police were called. Officers are now on the scene. Two people have been arrested. The painting is now being removed from display so it can be examined by Conservators.
