A #Tudor Gem in #Winchcombe A thousand-year-old building with a dead #queen inside I wonder what #KatherineParr, #HenryVIII’s sixth and surviving wife, would have made of what people get up to on the grounds of #SudeleyCastle nowadays. Her former abode is a favourite of dog-walkers, outdoor games enthusiasts, and Boxing Day, post-prandial, impromptu ramblers. My party belongs to the latter group. This is a far cry from what this Grade I-listed castle, situated close to the medieval market town of Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, is famous for. A curious fact that I only found out about recently is that Sudeley is the only privately owned castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds, the aforementioned Katherine. Another interesting piece of information, and one I will certainly check out when I’m next here, is that a cannonball-shaped hole remains on the side of Octagon Tower. A souvenir from the English Civil War. Don’t thank me, thank Ollie and his Ironsides. With a colder temperature than on previous days but still mild for this time of the year, we turn around and head back. Maybe a spring trip beckons, if only to pay a visit to the Queen’s Garden, where over seventy varieties of roses can be enjoyed. I’m sure Katherine won’t mind. #Cuban #Immigrant #Londoner https://www.austinmacauley.com/book/cuban-immigrant-and-londoner #walking #visitbritain #visitengland #visitGloucesteshire #photography #VSCO (at Sudeley Castle and Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmw2Fv5s2Ei/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Last Necromancer of Winchcombe

Necromancer by Sin using artflow.ai. Source: crystalhall.fandom.com

On this day in 1838, Bevil Blizard, the Last Necromancer of Winchcombe, died at Oxenton, Gloucestershire at the age of 94. Blizard was a well-known wizard and freely admitted that he owed his magic powers to a pact struck with Satan. Despite this hellish connection, Bevil was a relatively benign warlock, specialising in sage wisdom and fortune telling. Despite his harmless interaction with mankind, the devil will have his due and Blizard was not allowed to depart this word peacefully. He is frequently spotted wandering around Winchcombe churchyard, a restless spirit, allowed to rest in neither heaven nor hell. Winchcombe is a home to many ghosts, including several monks who haunt the local ruined abbey and a lone phantom friar who can be seen levitating two feet above the ground in a hollow near the cemetery.

The Winchcombe meteorite, which crashed onto a driveway in England in 2021 and is pristine enough to rival asteroid samples taken directly from space, contains amino acids that potentially led to the spawning of life on Earth.

When scientists analyzed fragments of the meteorite, they found that the asteroid it broke off from once had liquid water and that the meteorite itself contains organic compounds, including amino acids, some of which are the precursors to the proteins that make up DNA and are vital for life on Earth.

"Studying the organic inventory of the Winchcombe meteorite provided us with a window into the past, how simple chemistry kickstarted the origin of life at the birth of our solar system," Queenie Chan, a lecturer in Earth sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London who led the research, said in a statement
