About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.

ReplyDeleteIs it a pretty town? Would you recommend a detour for anything beyond this rather lovely statue?
DeleteDoes the mug come with a razor?
ReplyDeleteHo ho - alas no razor Guy.
ReplyDeleteA village rather than a town zmkc - interesting chiefly for its Lovelace estate buildings, which have rather fine brickwork. The church has an almost unique 7-light Early English east window, not originally part of the building - no one's sure where they got it from, perhaps nearby Newark Priory (a picturesque ruin now).
