Ann Elizabeth Baker of Northampton (1786-1861)

Remembering Ann's painstaking work in the early 19th century scraping off several centuries of lime wash revealed St Peter, Northampton's nationally significant 12th-century stonework and carvings.
There was much more to Ann, and you can watch a video of my 'triptych' presentation telling her story https://www.fostp.org.uk/aebaker/ #internationalwomensday #CCT #GeorgeGilbertScott #GGScott

While the main buildings of Glasgow University, designed by George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s, are generally described as Gothic in style, they also have a range of features more commonly associated with the Scots Baronial style, such as Crow-Stepped Gables and Pepperpot Turrets.

In 1317, Edward II granted the friary of St Augustine a license to purchase land in Skirbeck in Lincolnshire and by 1328 there were twenty friars living there. By the time of the dissolution, the total area was calculated as covering about ten acres - half an acre of this was adjacent to St John’s churchyard.

Three centuries later, when the Poor Laws were enacted it became the responsibility of the local parish to provide for the poor and they were housed in workhouses. Boston was built on land that belonged to the friary. All that remains now is its frontage.

The building was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott (image two) and what remains today is used by Lincolnshire Social Services.
