We visited this lovely Church June 2018 while on holiday in Cornwall. The Parish of St Issey with St Petrochemical Minor (Little Petherick) The Parish Church is partly Norman and was enlarged in the 15th century when the south aisle and tower were built. The tower has been rebuilt twice, c. 1680, and again in 1871. In 1869 the church #tower was struck by lightning and collapsed. Though there was a "lamentable rebuilding in 1871" (Charles Henderson) there are some features of great interest. These include the #reredos and a Pietà of Catacleuse stone which may be fragments of a late medieval monument, possibly that of Lady Matilda Chyverston which is mentioned in a document of 1399. According to local tradition the stonework was originally in the chapel at Halwyn, an estate of the Hamelys. Ruins of the house, chapel and columbarium were mentioned by Henderson in 1925. #StIssey #StIsseyChurch #Cornwall #ParishChurch #WestCountry The lady in the last photo is I believe Margaret Greenaway who had just finished decorating the Church with her beautiful Flowers, wonderful displays 🌸🌼🌺🌹🌿🌾Lovely lady😊

At the end of April we were fortunate enough to be able to visit #HerefordCathedral on our way to Wales, what a stunning display!😍💒😍💒😍💒😍 Here's some of my photos from our visit💒Info from Website..... "Poppies: Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies. #WW1 The men and women of Herefordshire made a huge contribution to the war effort during the First World War in a variety of ways. Young men were recruited into the Herefordshire #Regiment, which expanded to three battalions during this time, landing in Suvla Bay in Gallipoli in August 1915 before being transferred to the Western Front in 1918. Shells were produced at the Rotherwas Munitions Factory, which saw an influx of thousands of women into the county. Shell filling began on 11 November 1916. Herefordshire also provided horses for the front, known as ‘remounts’, as well as providing food supplies for the nation and the front from farms across the rural county. Hereford Cathedral dates from 1120 and is renowned for being the home of the Mappa Mundi, 1217 Magna Carta and a unique Chained Library. First World War #memorials in the cathedral include a plaque commemorating men of all ranks of the #Herefordshire Regiment who died on campaigns in Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine and France, and one to Hereford Cathedral School students and staff, including four former choristers. A Book of #Remembrance for the husbands and sons of members of the #Hereford Mothers’ Union who gave their lives in the war is on permanent display. In 2018, Hereford #Cathedral will unveil a new plaque honouring soldier Allan Leonard Lewis, the only Herefordshire-born recipient of the Victoria Cross. Lewis was killed in September 1918, aged 23.The Victoria Cross was presented to his parents by H.M King George V at Buckingham Palace in April 1919."
