Delighted to receive my copy of The Story of the Herefordshire Pomona, surely the most beautiful publication ever produced about the county and its orchards. A exquisite tribute by Bill Laws, published by @LogastonPress. Many thanks, the perfect antidote to hateful politics...

#Woodensday A visit to the magnificent St Mary, Ripple is so worthwhile. The icing on the cake, however, is the wonderful set of misericords showing the Labours of the Months and the Sun and Moon. The church is justly proud of them and displays them well.

#SteepleSaturday All Saints, Selsley. Bodley masterpiece for Samuel Stephens Marling in spectacular setting. Epic stained glass inside by Morris and all of the boys in the band. Philip Webb kept them all under control.

#SteepleSaturday St Peter & St Paul, Uplyme, East Devon. 'Largely of the early 19th century and of 1875', says Pevsner. The tower is medieval, however.

#AdoorableThursday St Mary, Pembridge. Two 14th century doors with contemporary ironwork. The North door and the plainer West door, which still shows the damage inflicted by Parliamentarian forces in 1645.
