Doorway in St Nic's Church. The elaborate stonework was moved here from St Mary's Priory, closed by Henry VIII, for the visit of Queen Elizabeth, 450 years ago this year.

The Pound. This little yard is the site where stray animals used to be impounded in the 16th and 17th centuries, owners having to pay a fine for their release. The shape marked with bricks shows the site of the wartime ARP wardens' hut, also the site where one of the local cricket clubs (The Wardens) was founded!

Swan family. Down to 4 cygnets now (one wandered into a nearby road), but they are nearly as big as their parents. Thriving despite the lake having shrunk to a third of its size in the drought.

Holyrood #trichrome 1. With this film I really struggled to get natural colours where they should be, and the wind was maybe too strong to get subtle "glitches".

Narrow boat entering a lock. In the early 20th century, facing steep competition from railways, the Grand Union Canal rebuilt its locks to take two boats. One is already in the lock. You can see the mouth of the old single lock, paved over. Of course, the investment failed.
