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.
Excellent piece. Renewing the theme of Rock music and High Gothic Revival did you see the Kensington kerfuffle regarding William Burges's Tower House now owned by Jimmy Page who is in a battle with his neighbour Robbie Williams? Williams aims to dig out a subterranean pool in doing which he may damage Page's exotic residence. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849983/Jimmy-Page-reveals-treasures-works-art-says-Robbie-Williams-putting-risk.html
ReplyDeleteYes indeed – an unseemly business. This sort of thing wouldn't have happened in Billy Burges's day – but it goes to show that Victorian artists were the rock stars of their time.
