I’ve been saying for some time that the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII was one of the most destructive events in British history. The impact of which we’re still suffering from today. Just think about the social and cultural value those institutions created over centuries. All to be nicked or sent up in smoke by a murderous tyrant. A great little documentary about it here. With some wonderful architecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAuSRZCLdsk

Wind from the Sea by Edward Gordon

Men cannot improve a society by setting fire to it. They must seek out its old virtues and bring them back into the light. - Russell Kirk 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕖 𝔸𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕪

Just in case you needed to hear this message today... Extract from "Sing Your Song and Steal Some Time", recorded February 28, 2007 by the late Alan Watt. I listen to Alan's archival recordings whenever I get a spare moment. This was a recent stand out for me. I never met Alan and didn't know him personally. But the man left a wealth of knowledge and wisdom as his legacy. One I highly recommend you seek out.

1930s - "The English village is traditionally built round a central patch of grass, the village green".

Mankind can live without science, it can live without bread, but it cannot live without beauty. Without beauty there would be nothing left to do in this life. The whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. - Fyodor Dostoevsky 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕖 𝔸𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕪
