So many people will look at this photo and think:"What satellite dish? I just see brickwork!" If you know your bonds, you'll spot the small area of garden wall bond among the Flemish

Pembridge and Kington. Part of Herefordshire's black and white villages trail. Peeved at how a Victorian colour scheme has become the orthodox! Would love to see trad finishes, colours and decorative schemes reinstated.

Polyrhythmic Cambridge.

I know what will fix it: more cement!

Church of St Mary, Marton-cum-Moxby, N. Yorkshire. 1540 rebuild of a C12th church, possibly using bits of redundant priory. Restored by Ewan Christian in 1886, who chose a strange mix of boring new windows, a receding tower and asymmetrical crowsteps.

The Devil's Arrows have such a strange immediate context. Town edge on one side, A1(M) on the other, farming, a ring of trees, a road and twee gates. 3 stones. The 4th and 5th ones were apparently toppled in the search for treasure underneath.

This just arrived in the post today! As someone who loved reading English Shops and Shopping cover to cover, I'm looking forward to devouring this!

The impressive Norman doorway was described by Pevsner as "sumptuous and barbaric". A delightful sight!

Gardens. Castle. Mountains. In that order. The view from Bodysgallen Hall near Conwy.

High on top of the Conwy Valley, the remote 12th century Llangelynnin Old Church, dedicated to Saint Celynnin. Also dedicated Saint Celynnin is a 6th century well in the churchyard, thought to have healing powers, especially for children.

Loved this when it came out 25 years ago. Am I the only person who has always heard the Sound of Silence (1966) in Come On Let's Go? In the sense of both tracks having a percussive yet slide-y bass that alternates with a cold, melancholic melody? Broadcast sounded like the past and future in 2000.

What luck! This has never happened before: I found two lots of buried treasure today.

I think the little notice says "This is the oldest part of the church..." but they've repointed in cement anyway...

Pastiche works when there is attention to detail. Yes, some details are clear giveaways to these shopfronts not being old-old, but for 1987 this is a tremendous effort and clearly a source of pride for the people behind it. Nice to see it's been looked after too.

Fleeting Black Lodge vibes in the chancel of the Church of St Mary, Barnard Castle. "That floor you like is going to come back into style." #TwinPeaks

Have timber, will jetty. Have brick, will corbel.

AS TIME PASSES AND THEIR NUMBERS DIMINISH, THAT STRIDENT AND PRAGMATIC MONOTONY OF WORKADAY LATE MODERN MUNICIPAL AND INFRASTRUCTURAL BUILDINGS BEGINS TO FEEL INCREASINGLY EXOTIC AND ESOTERIC. LET’S HOPE THEY ENDURE.

Tale of two cludgies

The Regency vibes are very strong indeed at this building in Settle.

Stradding the line between conservation area architecture and Pomo. Or a sort of Cheshire salute to Louis Sullivan but without the frills. Chester.

REMEMBER YOU ARE ONE. The film The Substance but applied to buildings?

Church of St John the Baptist, Kirkby Hammerton, North Yorkshire. The SPAB advised on the restoration. Probably why the 11th, 13th and 1890s bits are so distinct rather than jumbled up.

Church of St James, Shipton, Shropshire. Love the three masses of the tower, nave and chancel. Also a very rare thing: a 'Gothic survival' chancel rebuild of 1589.

A room with a view: Edinburgh.

York doing its best to look like an uncanny AI-generated townscape.

Shocking use of disc cutters on finely jointed stonework. Totally changing the appearance of the building for no reason. First photo shows how they stopped cutting near a frame, leaving a short run of the original joint. Last photo includes bits they hadn't buggered up yet.

Ravenglass cottages and sea wall. One for @grimartgroup.bsky.social ?

More of St Peter's, Diddlebury: Saxon coursed stonework (chevron pattern?) and corbels with faces.

Let's start Blue Sky with St Peter's, Diddlebury, Shropshire. The most buttressed tower I've seen, and Romanesque and Decorated windows side by side. Odd monuments put into the Saxon walling too.
