The nave of Salisbury Cathedral. It was built in the 13th century but heavily restored by James Wyatt in 1789-92. Wyatt removed the remaining medieval stained glass and wall paintings, and relocated medieval monuments from elsewhere in the church, neatly lining them up under the nave arcades. He also demolished the remaining part of the free standing bell tower, two porches and two medieval chantry chapels. The church of St Paul's in Branxton, Northumberland. The medieval church was largely rebuilt in 1849 but the 12th-century chancel arch (with 13th-century head) survives. Built in the early 12th century by the Bishop of Durham, Norham Castle was besieged a whopping thirteen times (and captured on four of those times). The battle of Bosworth was fought #otd in 1485. Henry Tudor's victory over Richard III marked the start of the Tudor era. Trendell's Folly in the Abbey Gardens, Abingdon. Another brass in the church of St Mary, Souldern. Deceptively intact, the brass was heavily restored in the 19th century and brings together a heart with scrolls of c. 1460 and a later inscription to John Throckmorton, son of Hugh Throckmorton. Although the inscription is dates 1537, John Throckmorton probably died in 1573, a couple of years after his father purchased the advowson. The spire of St Mary's church Bloxham looking fabulous in the evening sunlight. Lovely little 16th century brass (identity unknown) in the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (generally known as St Mary's!) in the Oxfordshire village of Souldern. Milecastle 39
