Picture of the Day

The first Lord King, Lord Chancellor of England, broods atop his monument (by Rysbrack) in All Saints, Ockham, the symbols of his office at his feet.

    Yes it's a serious business.

    Ockham--William's home town?

    It was indeed, George - there's a stained-glass portrait of him (1950s I think) in the church, and you can buy a William of Ockham mug if you fancy it...

      Is it a pretty town? Would you recommend a detour for anything beyond this rather lovely statue?

    Does the mug come with a razor?

    Ho ho - alas no razor Guy.
    A 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).
