#OppressedByTheEU: a few years ago, #EU #ConvergenceFunding supported regeneration in #Swansea &, via a partnership with the council & an @AHRCPress grant, meant I had to lead to a hugely exciting research project on the #medieval town, opening up new #tourism opportunities. Sigh

Silence #55: Alciston Church, Sussex. A silent downland beauty, empty and perfect, and resonant with memory. #100silences #lestweforget #armistice #ww1 #peace #armiatice1918 #oldway

Silence no. 1: Hollybrook Memorial, Southampton. For those lost at sea in WW1. Main memorial for the SS Mendi, a transport ship carrying South African Native Labour Corps workers, struck by a postal ship. Over 600 men drowned. #lestweforget #100silences #armistice1918 #ww1

Silence #3 - The Belgian Patriots. King Albert of Belgium resisted the German advance in 1914, buying France and Britain time to prepare. 200,000 refugees came to Britain. This memorial is to wounded soldiers who died among them. “They lie in a friendly land.” #100silences

Silence 12, St Mary’s Warsash, Roll of Honour. With a Kipling poem set to song. Rudyard Kipling was pro-war, and pulled strings to get his short-sighted asthmatic son to the front line. But his son died at the Battle of Loos, & Kipling had to reconcile this loss with his beliefs.

The UK heatwave has exposed the remains of an ornate 17th Century garden design at Derbyshire's Chatsworth House. The patterns of where flowerbeds and paths once were can be seen under the South Lawn's scorched grass. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-de… #History

Beech trees on last weekend's guided pilgrimage from Arundel to Bramber. The Old English name for Beech is 'Boc' - which is the root of the word 'Book'. No wonder Beech trees are the most carved and graffittied of all English trees. #OldWay #pilgrimage #trees #nature #holyplace
