History, arts, London, and the connections in between.
Bronze & enamel lecturn by Gilbert Bayes in the Savoy Chapel, memorial to Laurence (son of Henry) Irving who drowned with 1000 others when the Empress of Ireland sank off Canada in 1914. Its captain Henry Kendall, on his prior ship, sent the radio message that led to Dr Crippen's arrest.
Rick GaehlI was on a cycling trip in Cornwall over the weekend when I came across this lovely building.
It was created by the Society of Friends, in 1710, as a Quaker Meeting House, and is still in use.
The best part of the story is that, following construction, the tiny hamlet clustered around the Meeting House became known as Come-to-Good. Isn't that a lovely name?
There's a picture of the interior in the replies to this post.

Here is a view from a window for #FensterFreitag.
The window is in Albi, and the river is the Tarn.

Sam at BLAGRealised I should probably do these as a BLAG Meet-themed thread, so reposting link here about Dr Amy Goodwin's talk about the fairground painters: https://typo.social/@blag/111940125408455717
This will include new material from Fred Fowle that has been received by the Fairground Heritage Trust; which offers an excuse to share this wonderful BBC segment about him.
And there's even more here: https://bl.ag/our-business-is-fun-with-fred-fowle/

Attached: 1 image On 2 March, at BLAG Meet (https://bl.ag/meet), Dr Amy Goodwin shares her research into the fairground painters, past and present. This visual talk will include some of the works the Fairground Heritage Trust have in their collection — including, lettering which manipulates spatial depth and signs influenced by the cartoon industry — and discuss the impact the past has had on the fairground painters of today.
