Newtown is one of Newfoundland’s prettiest communities. It’s built across several islands joined by small bridges and separated by calm channels. Newtown has been nicknamed Newfoundland’s Venice.
In the late 1800’s, Newtown was an economic hub for the surrounding area. The Barbour family, known for sealing, established merchant premises in Newtown. The family dominated the area’s economy. Several buildings and homes from that era now make up the Barbour Living Heritage Village.

Another shot from St Luke's (Milland).
The colour tweaking on the background was one of my happy accidents, i.e. when I'm trying to do something else and get it wrong but end up with something I think I can use.
Edited for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
This 1873 window was designed by J Hardman &Co in a 13th century style. From top to bottom the three roundels depict St Luke as 1) a physician 2) an artist 3) an evangelist
From a farmer's field in Corringham. An annual fundraising enterprise. Come on down, bring the kids, take pictures, even pick a handful. Donations to St. Luke's Hospice, Basildon, Essex UK.
I just checked their fundraising page and they've raised nearly £20,000 for the hospice. What a wonderful thing to do!

I hope that someday all churches will be relegated to similar conditions and archeologists and anthropologists will find them much as we view Easter Island or Mayan ruins today. Just curious remnants of a previous civilization. As Lennon said, "Imagine."
The architect was James Savage, one of the foremost authorities on medieval architecture of his time, and the church has a grandeur of conception and a great attention to detail. It is built of Bath stone and the resemblance to King’s College Chapel in Cambridge is quite striking. On the exterior the flying buttresses and the pinnacles along the parapets give an added feeling of height. chelseaparish.org/about-us/history/st-lukes-history/

The church is of quite unusual construction, in that concrete has been used for the pillars, and arches. The original roof was replaced with present concrete one in 1958, but it suffered from serious problems, eventually leading to the closure of the church in 1980.
St Luke's Church, more commonly known by locals as the bombed-out church,[1] is a former Anglican parish church in Liverpool, England. It stands on the corner of Berry Street and Leece Street, at the top of Bold Street.
The church was built between 1811 and 1832, and was designed by John Foster, Sr. and John Foster, Jr., father and son who were successive surveyors for the municipal Corporation of Liverpool. In addition to being a parish church, it was also intended to be used as a venue for ceremonial worship by the Corporation and as a concert hall.
The church was badly damaged by bombs during the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and has been a roofless shell ever since, giving rise to its nickname. It now stands as a memorial to those who died in the war, and has also been hired as a venue for exhibitions and events. The church and its surrounding walls, gates, and railings are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated Grade II* listed buildings.

St. Luke’s Anglican Church,
Scone, NSW, Australia.
St Luke’s church was built in 1883-84 to replace an older church that was built in 1841 on the site of an old burial ground.
The church was built in the early English Gothic style using red brick with stone dressings.
Thomas Cook & J.H. Doyle provide substantial contributions towards the construction & William Dangar provided the bell.
Halmshaw & Sons (Birmingham) built the organ in 1887, and it was restored in 1980.
In the front grounds of the church are memorials to men who died during WW1.

St. Luke’s, Little Akaloa built in 1906 by local farmer and craftsman, John Menzies, is notable for its location, on a wooded knoll high above the bay, and for its stunning carvings in timber and Mt Somers stone, depicting Maori designs. In 2014, St. Luke’s underwent extensive renovations to repair minor earthquake damage and bring this beautiful building fully up to code.
The name should of course be Little Akaroa but reflects the southern Maori pronunciation of 'r'. The settlement was designated 'little' to distinguish it from Akaroa. It was spelt Hakaroa until 1864.

This church was bombed and destroyed by the Germans in WW2 and now stands as a reminder of the event. The statues show a German and British soldier in WW1 about to shake hands on the battlefields of Europe on Christmas day.
Soon after this the commanding officers on both sides moved the trenches further back so soldiers could not communicate with each other and ordered them to continue fighting.
The rich will always send the poor to fight in their wars and make themselves even richer. The poor return home still poor and thankful to be alive.
Never have so many died for so few.

I have spent time in Liverpool whenever I can and have always felt welcomed by the good people who live in this multi - cultural amazing City. Well worth a visit.

Saturday morning I cycled a 15km loop to Blenkinsop Lake and back.
I stopped at St. Luke's cemetery outbound to assist in the volunteer's cleanup.
Inbound there was a fair setup in Lambrick Park by the Recreation Centre.
One sign read: Saanich Family Affair but that's all the info available for now.
It was a most pleasant morning with some strong winds.
Overlord Industries has not yet dealt with the battery issues on the iZip bicycle.
"St Luke’s Church, known locally as the ‘Bombed Out Church’, suffered catastrophic damage during the May Blitz of 1941, leaving only its external masonry standing.
Overgrown and inaccessible, the site lay derelict for over 60 years, before being cleared, and transformed by a series of cultural events, reopening the space to the public.
Having become an established venue for theatre, dance, classical and world music, visual art, cinema, and spoken word, as well as alternate and participatory forms of work, the site now stands as a testament to community spirit and the power of the arts to affect change - a living, working monument to the people of Liverpool.
The ongoing story is one of hope and transformation."
The words on the door read "Gone but never Forgotten. In remembrance of a lovely soul, Bertie. Aka, Carla Clarkson."
IN
MEMORY
of F Horwill
Leading Singer
of Charles Chapel
(in Courtney's time)
Joint research with Gora_Gray points to this being Fred Horwill, born in Plymouth on 30 October 1855, son of William Fry Horwill a successful bootmaker from Buckfastleigh who had a shop in Bedford Street, Plymouth.
William and his wife Jane Hard Horwill both died in late 1876 possibly at the same time.
Fred went on to become a member of H.M. Customs service and worked in London.
If Fred was a 'leading singer' in the Rev. Courney's time, this suggests he was the leading boy soprano in the choir at St Luke's (then known as Charles Chapel).
Rather than an epitaph after Fred's death, this is more likely to record either Fred's departure from the choir, or his voice breaking (and, hence, no longer being a boy soprano).
