Oh Mann, ich hätte noch so viel mehr für heute! 🙈 Aber eine kleine #Kirche bzw. #Kapelle muss noch: die faszinierende Watts Cemetery Chapel in dem kleinen englischen Dorf #Compton. Hier hat sich die Künstlerin Mary Fraser-Tytler 1896 in Sachen #Jugendstil, #Celtic Revival und mehr so richtig ausgetobt. Fanden viele nicht so lustig, aber wenn ihr mal in der Gegend seid, solltet ihr euch unbedingt mal davon erschlagen lassen. 😉 Außerdem: #Doorsday! // Gaaaah, I could share so many more buildings today! 🙈 But one more tiny #church or #chapel is a must: the fascinating #WattsCemeteryChapel in the village of Compton, #Surrey. Resident artist Mary Fraser-Tytler went wild with #ModernStyle, #CelticRevival, and several other styles in 1896. Many contemporaries were not amused, but if you're ever in the vicinity, pay a visit and be flabbergasted (or 𝘨𝘰𝘥smacked?). 😉 Also: #Doorsday!

Ruaraidh Erskine of Mar (1869–1960) was born #OTD, 15 Jan.

“A distinctly flamboyant figure, Erskine may come across as one of the eccentric, larger-than-life personalities involved in the whirlwind of political initiatives and small magazines around the turn of the century. However, his magazines played a vital role in the development of modern Gaelic fiction, drama, and journalism.”
