St. Andrew’s Church, Farnham , Waverley (By Batloaf)

St Andrew’s Church is an outstanding, Grade 1 listed building with many points of historic, architectural and artistic interest. At every point in the church there are views, enclosed by arches, punctuated by delicate timber screens, and with an assortment of complex timber roof structures above.

One of the key features of St Andrew’s large churchyard is the grave of William Cobbett, Farnham’s famous political reformer and author.
This is situated right in front of the main north entrance to the church.

Towering over the churchyard is the refurbished tower which houses a recently refitted bell support frame, new bells and the restored 17th century clock.

The church’s stained glass windows include a magnificent work by the famous artist Augustus Charles Pugin. This was first exhibited at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851 and it depicts scenes from the life of Christ. 

On the south east side of the church resides a 15th century font, carved with sacred monograms and the symbols of the four Evangelists.

Nearby, in the south aisle, the Pulpit of oak and burr walnut resides. It dates from 1895 and a memorial to the Revd Philip Hoste, Rector from 1875-1893. Just opposite in the north aisle sits the Lectern, a large brass eagle given in 1874 in memory of Bishop Charles Sumner.

Mirehouse and Gardens, Allerdale (By D0c.Col)

Mirehouse Manor and Estate is located in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is known for its literary connections, beautiful gardens, and its scenic setting, caressing the water's edge of the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake.
The footpath starts at the manor and there is also a useful footpath link to the south, which avoids the risks of walking along the A591 and connects with the paths from Underskiddaw, Keswick and Braithwaite.
The Old Sawmill tearoom marks the start and end of many a fell walk as well as those visiting the Lake through the Mirehouse Grounds. From here you can reach the top of Dodd, Ullock Pike and Skiddaw.
The history of the building, that stands in the car-park opposite the entrance to Mirehouse, is outlined on the walls of the tearoom along with a display of old photographs and forest tools.
While the house is only open on occasional days, visitors are able to see its period furnishings, family portraits, and literary memorabilia during selected periods throughout the year. Although there is a pay carpark opposite the house there is a layby just down the road that is free and providing your early or late enough in the day is not crammed with fell walkers cars!

The house is privately owned but public paths are available from the lane leading up to the house, which is open to the public at sheduled events throughout the year.

All Saints Church, Godshill, Isle of Wight (By Batloaf)

Here people have worshipped for about a millennium. Before that it was a major pagan holy site, perhaps going back further thousands of years. The island was the last part of England to be converted to Christianity (C7) and we know a stone church was built here in the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-66).

Legend tells how the builders started to erect a church at the bottom of the hill only to find the stones repeatedly miraculously transported to the top. This it seemed was where God wanted the church and so that is where they built it. 

One of the features of this church is that, as you can see, it is a double church. The north church belonged to the parish; the southern church was for the workers at nearby Appuldurcombe Priory.
In the middle arches are slots where a wooden partition separated the two. The priest’s door, usually in the south wall, is therefore in the north wall.

Grasmere, Cumbria , South Lakeland (By Batloaf)

Grasmere is perhaps best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found."

Set alongside Grasmere Lake, Grasmere is shrouded by a panorama of fells and mountains that provide the atmosphere so beloved of Wordsworth and the Romantic poets.

Old cottages, faced with pebbledash, and houses of bluish-green local slate vie for attention along the twisty streets of the village. Victorian villas sit comfortably beside hotels, galleries and shops catering to tourists.

The local church of St. Oswald's, in the centre of Grasmere, has a history stretching from the 13thC, and is the final resting place of William Wordsworth. Wordsworth's memory is heavy throughout Grasmere with his former home, Dove Cottage being one of the most popular attractions in Grasmere along with a museum dedicated to Wordsworth.
Wordsworth's later dwelling at nearby Rydal Mount can also be visited.

Gingerbread lovers are strongly recommended to stop for a treat at the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop near the church!

Paddle Steamer Ryde - River Medina , Isle of Wight (By uav_hampshire)

Situated along the Medina Estuary by the Island Harbour Marina is the former Paddle Steamer Ryde which sadly is being eaten away by the elements after failed restoration attempts.

A quick search on Google will give fuller information to the history of this vessel and it's worth a capture before it's finally removed to the scrapheap.

TOAL & access is via a public footpath that runs alongside the marina. Entry has to be made by access through the marina itself from Mill Lane off the A3054.

Although there is a car park at the marina, it's not been ascertained if this car park is open for public parking or vessel owners only - I'll add a parking marker anyway.

If you're taking public transport, I took the No.5 from East Cowes to Binfield Corner. The Marina is a 10 minute walk along Mill lane.
