You said this thing that really stuck with me Back when you were in my life On the tube, everyone's ugly Guess it’s the unforgiving light
In your shoebox apartment Are you picking out an outfit To go out and eat gyoza in the park? And when the umbrella's open You should know that nothing's hopeless And I’m sending you a foggy shower screen heart I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you (I—)
Tumblr media
And now it's two AM in Tokyo There's cherry blossom in your hair You always were the least happy child I always thought that wasn't fair
And you always hid your sadness With the smoothest sleight of hand You were a TV talent show disappearing act And the Elvis' impersonators Crowding at the elevators Reminds you of a private joke we had
I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can’t be without you
’Cause I miss your bones selfishly I need you next to me, I'm spiraling I miss your bones selfishly I need you next to me, I’m spiralling
I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you

With its opulent regency decor, and stunning 18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, The King’s Room was one of my favourites during my recent tour of Belvoir Castle. The wallpaper in this suite of rooms, plus a deep dive into the Castle’s archives, was the inspiration behind one de Gournay’s most recent projects, de Gournay x Belvoir, which now adorns one of the Castle’s State Bedrooms. @belvoircastle @degournay #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #castle #countryhome #countryhouse #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryhousestyle #sibylcolefaxandjohnfowler #colefaxandfowler #degournay #chinoiserie #handpaintedwallpaper #chinesewallpaper #18thcentury #interior #interiors #decor #decoration #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #regency #regencyera #daybed #antique #antiquefurniture #flowers (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosPL1aoEEM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chomp Goes To School By Melissa Mattox Illustrated by Mark Chambers Bonney Press, 2014 When I was ten I moved from Manchester to Grantham in Lincolnshire. I cried the whole way there. On my first day in my new school the crying continued. The other children looked at me, or so my memory tells me, with a young concern. What was wrong? How could I cry for so long? In Chomp Goes to School, our…

St. Wulfram's Church
Portfolio Entry 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the small town of Grantham which sits at about 45,000 people in all, there is St. Wulfram’s Church. St. Wulfram’s Church is an Anglican parish church that can hold up to 700 people in seating. St Wulfram’s was built in the early 1300s. The church was built with the riches from wool merchants in the community, and in the 1860s, the church was restored but the original furniture that had been in the building had been sold and removed for reasons unknown. The church holds many events other than just mass, including: a beer festival and a Christmas tree festival which includes a synthetic ice rink inside for people to skate on. The building follows the Medieval style of architecture because of the spire, the arched columns, and stained glass windows, and although the church doesn’t have flying buttresses, it has a similar technique called pinnacles. The stained glass in the church is Victorian. There was a big restoration of the church, which was accomplished by George Gilbert Scott, who was known for being an English Gothic Revival architect who was buried in Westminster Abbey. The spire on the church is very tall, reaching about 274 feet; the church with the spire is the sixth tallest in the country of England and the third tallest of any parish church. 
Although the town is known for being the birthplace of both Margaret Thatcher and Isaac Newton, the church has no significant burials. There is a churchyard for burials there, but there isn’t much information on anything to do with burials at the church. Anglican is a largely popular denomination in the Church of England, housing about 85 million members. Two main beliefs of an Anglican church include the belief that one God exists within three entities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as well as the fact that Jesus Christ is God and human. 
The church itself is small but beautiful. Coming from America where most churches are weird, modernized, block buildings, it is always fascinating seeing beautiful churches in England. I’ve mostly experienced cathedrals, which are always going to be grand buildings with tons of intricate parts to the architecture but St. Wulfram’s church isn't a cathedral but continues to be very breathtaking. By exploring the church, it is easy to find out that there is more to it than what it seems. Following up a narrow spiral staircase, there is a library which happens to be the first public library in England. The library holds a giant version of the Bible, along with over 80 volumes attached to the shelves by chains to keep the library historical and untouched by thieves. 
The area around the church is pretty urban, although not as urban as previous places I have explored and written about. The area seems kind of secluded and quiet, as opposed to Westminster Abbey. The reserved sacrament is kept in the crypt, which is located downstairs near the middle of the church. The crypt also holds a shrine for St Wulfram. St. Wulfram was a French priest and had one other church in England in his name called St. Wulfran’s church (for some reason the church is spelled with an “n” rather than an “m”) based in Ovingdean in Brighton and Hove. Other than the two churches dedicated to him in England, he has two in France as well; Collegiate Church of Saint-Vulfran in Abbeville and Church in Butot are the two French churches in his name, where he converted Frisians to Christianity. 
The church has an organ that fills the entire building with sound because of the secondary ventilation system that makes the sound travel from not only by the instrument itself, but also out further into the church. In a photo seen above, you can see the organ which has the words “Landair rum in chords ef Organo” which in English translates to “Landair rum in the chords of the organ”. Most Anglican churches have pipe organs in them, including St. Wulfram’s Church. Organs are used in churches to be able to aid the public in singing their songs and hymns to express their love and emotions to God and to seek and give support to their peers in worship music. 
Overall, the church is small and doesn’t have as many huge architectural breakthroughs like La Sagrada Familia, but it is beautiful in a small, quaint, and sacred way. The church doesn’t have to be a cathedral to be sacred, but it has to celebrate religion in a respectful way and has a way of making people believe that it is a holy and worthy place of their worship. The interior and exterior both contribute to the overall sacred feeling of the building by not only using the key features of a medieval structure, but also the atmosphere itself aids in the safety that people feel to worship a higher power.

The Ballroom at Belvoir. This weekend, whilst her doors were shuttered, I was kindly invited to a private tour of @belvoircastle in preparation for her reopening to visitors on March 12th. It felt quite surreal to visit this historic Castle after seeing its resplendent interiors on The Crown and The Young Victoria, and I can’t wait to share more photographs from my visit. On a separate point, it was refreshing to note the warmth and diversity of the team at Belvoir. Belvoir want to share the history and beauty of The Castle with everyone, and want every visitor to feel welcome. Their refreshing approach to inclusion allows people from diverse backgrounds, such as myself, to share and cherish the best of English Heritage. @duchessrutland #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #dukeandduchessofrutland #historiccastles #castle #historichome #historichomes #historichouse #gothicrevival #gothicrevivalarchitecture #statelyhome #statelyhouse #englishcountryhouse #interior #interiors #ballroom #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #interiordesign #interiordesigner #art #artwork #portait #portraitpainting #painting #staircase (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConCkpxozSd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
