The beautiful Ayshford Chapel is one of only a handful of medieval chapels of ease that continued to be used for religious services after the Reformation.

Private equity wrecked UK high street, says Iceland Foods boss

PE model - low wages, cut staff/investment, high debt, profiteering, tax abuse.

PE devoured Debenhams, Maplin, Byron Burger, Cath Kidson, Comet, Flybe, Poundworld, Toys R Us.

Controls care homes, vets, supermarkets.

✨Delightful 👻 ‘ghost-door’, dated 1627 in the spandrel - at Conistone in the Yorkshire Dales. The patterns reminiscent of the protective daisy wheels🛞 that are often seen around openings.

718 years ago, on the 13th of October 1307, King Philip IV of France had hundreds of Knights Templar arrested on charges of heresy, to which most later confessed under torture. This event is one of the possible origins for the Friday the 13th superstition. #otd #history 🗃️

Even butterflies are losing their colours as forests are replaced by monocultures.

Without protection for native habitats, the most vibrant species could vanish.

It is not too late. In forests allowed to recover, colour and life return.
As forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours
The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling down
