This is a group of four great old photos, all kept together thankfully.

May Eugenie Tudor & A La Ronde Pt 2 Clues

By Lynn's Waffles on 03/02/2019 • ( 2 Comments )

So now I have identified the couple, the child on Mum Stella’s lap is indeed their first born Stella Joanna Matilda Parminter Tudor!

By Lynn's Waffles on 19/09/2018 • ( 5 Comments )

After being able to return the lovely photo of Agnes to a direct descendant a couple of weeks ago, Dick has very kindly sent me more images of the the family

Selina Wonnacott & William Henry Dillon

By Lynn's Waffles on 15/06/2018 • ( 4 Comments )

Scrolling through Ebay one evening I noticed this absolutely beautiful glass Ambrotype photo, unframed, of a couple, taken I thought probably 1855/60’s

Marie Louise Wancke married Karl Isak Pyhlsson

By Lynn's Waffles on 25/05/2018 • ( 4 Comments )

I never imagined it would take me on a journey to the Netherlands, Sweden, Milan, Italy, Sunderland, Durham. Also connections to Christopher Columbus and even the Queen of Holland

Dozens of Old Photos, but who do they belong to? Any ideas?

By Lynn's Waffles on 15/05/2018 • ( 6 Comments )

Having spent about four days worth of research on these Old Photos it’s time to give in. Have I missed something, so if you have any ideas or inspiration I would love to hear from you!

Visit to Lytes Cary Manor last week & what a wonderful little Chapel they have!😍 National Trust Website: The Lyte’s family The story starts with William le Lyte, who was a feudal tenant of the estate as early as 1286. He paid an annual rent of 10 shillings or the contents of a swan’s nest on the River Cary. It is believed that it was his grandson, Peter, who built the Chapel in 1343. Six generations of the Lyte family lived at the Manor and the house was gradually expanded over time. The Great Hall was constructed in 1447 by Thomas Lyte and the south wing, kitchens and outhouses were added by 1533 by John Lyte and his wife, Edith. The chapel predates the existing house, having been built around 1343, and functioned as a chantry Chapel, where masses could be said for the souls of the family, both living and dead. ***************************** Historic England Website: William le Lyte held the estate now known as Lytes Cary in 1286, and his descendants remained in possession until 1755. In the mid C14, William's grandson, Peter, built a new stone chapel, and gradually successive generations constructed a courtyard manor house around it. #LytesCary #LytesCaryManor #Chapel #Somerset #NationalTrust

Visited this Church September 2018. What a beautiful #Font with a dedication written around it😊 “St Mary, Haddiscoe, Norfolk sits on a hill above the Reedham to Beccles road, its telescopic tower a landmark for miles. In this corner of Norfolk it stands out as being of tremendous interest, an intriguing and impressive place. The #tower base is certainly Saxon, the upper parts Norman, the chequerboard top wholly 15th century. Coming to the #chancel there are a number of filled in round windows. Saxon or Georgian. Neither seems likely, they are probably a local 13th century device. They probably date from the original building of the #chancel. #StMary can be gloomy inside on a winter day, and it takes a moment to adjust to the darkness. Facing west into the #tower, green light pours from a lancet through the Saxon round-head arch, a foil for the creamy light coming through the elaborate Decorated #tracery in the eastern distance. Halfway along the south side is Martin Travers' justly-famous The young John the Baptist greets the infant Christ in a sort of Art Nouveau meets Chinoiserie style, with the church itself set in the background. Above the arcade are surviving #wallpaintings - just. The head of St Christopher with the Christchild on his shoulder is clear enough, but the others are fragmentary. Most curious are two little niches set in the eastern face of the most westerly arcade pillar, that is to say, to see the images in them you would need to face west. Odd, but there is something similar at neighbouring Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe that was probably a cupboard. There are some good #ledgerstones of the 16th and 17th centuries, and one in particular is worth a look, because it is in Dutch. This is to the wife of Pier Piers, the dyke reeve, and dates from 1625. There are two corbel heads halfway along the chancel wall, which presumably date from its 13th century construction. The font is typically late #medieval East Anglian. “ All information above is from NorfolkChurches.co.uk #Norfolk #Haddiscoe #HaddiscoeChurch #Church #churchhistory #RoundTowerChurch

Chapel This unusually grand, episcopal chapel, built between 1275 and 1292 for Bishop Burnell, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Edward I, has been used for centuries by the Bishops of Bath and Wells, and their households, for private prayer. The architecture is a great example of the Early English Decorated Style. Here you can sit in peace and quiet and take in the chapel’s beautiful proportions, the fine patterns of stone tracery, and exceptional medieval carved detail of the vaulted ceiling and sedilia. Tall windows fill the chapel with light which spills through stained glass rescued from French churches damaged or abandoned after the Revolution of 1789: spot intriguing fragments of lost scenes and symbols. Modern additions include the Somerset made, early 20th century pews and a 21st century heraldic frieze displaying the bishops’ arms. 💒Information above all from Bishops Palace Website 💒

Chapel This unusually grand, episcopal chapel, built between 1275 and 1292 for Bishop Burnell, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Edward I, has been used for centuries by the Bishops of Bath and Wells, and their households, for private prayer. The architecture is a great example of the Early English Decorated Style. Here you can sit in peace and quiet and take in the chapel’s beautiful proportions, the fine patterns of stone tracery, and exceptional medieval carved detail of the vaulted ceiling and sedilia. Tall windows fill the chapel with light which spills through stained glass rescued from French churches damaged or abandoned after the Revolution of 1789: spot intriguing fragments of lost scenes and symbols. Modern additions include the Somerset made, early 20th century pews and a 21st century heraldic frieze displaying the bishops’ arms. 💒Information above all from Bishops Palace Website 💒
