In Pursuit of Spring - Day 2: "It was at that instant that the sharp easterly dropped and beyond the forest of Rothiemurchus, the snow bones of Creag Dhubh tousled the clouds into thin wisps of galloping guilloche." 👉 www.digest.andymarsh...

18 years ago today I took one of my favorite photos. I followed a small path behind a church in Pienza and suddenly : sunset on the slopes of Monte Amiata, from behind the palace of Pius II... #photography #Italy

📷 Taken with the tilt shift lens: The magnificent Romanesque nave at Norwich Cathedral is crowned with a later vaulted ceiling that has one of the most remarkable series of bosses depicting scenes from creation to the last judgement.

The Saxon baptistry at St. Peter, Barton-upon-Humber might be even older than the C10th tower. Both were built (in part) with Roman stone transported by river from Yorkshire. Many burials beneath are older than the church.

✨John Ruskin described Lincoln Cathedral as “out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles.” Its grandeur is unmatched, but the medieval Romanesque details—like the west front door—feel truly otherworldly, as if from another planet. 🪐

✨ The medieval Octagon Tower at Ely Cathedral took my breath away. 🏰 My first thought? Imagine if I could go up there and see the vaulting! 🤯 Little did I realise... I actually could! 😍🔥

This has to be one of my favourite 👻ghost doors. Leaning back as if to accommodate the mighty St. Mary's in Beverley, Yorkshire. Hidden behind the east front of the church - it is of some age with some re-used medieval bricks.

And so, to dispel the sluggard in me, in 10 days’ time - through the power of a camper-van-camino, in the dandling mizzle of the season - I will invoke the spirit of Edward Thomas by travelling the length of Britain north to south in pursuit of spring. 👉 www.digest.andymarsh...

Light and shade: the sacristy door at the Queen of Holderness, St. Patrick, Patrington, Yorkshire. I waited for the shadows to align. The silhouette of curvilinear tracery from the stained glass casts a presence of absence, echoing forms both here and not here. #throwbackthursday

Layers of history - Sketched a medley of medieval and post-medieval items from the amazing church at All Saints' church at Ilkley - the site dates back to Roman times and probably beyond. #amsketching #myart #sketchbook #urbansketching

In Anglo-Saxon architecture, Roman stone meets a timber way of thinking: stone becomes articulated into the Saxon timber-centric world view. I suppose, in this way, it is also a memory as well as a material. Here at All Saints', Earls Barton. 📸 my own.

Such a rare survival - the nave ceiling at Peterborough Cathedral dates from the C13th - it has been overpainted twice but the original design remains - and original paint from the C13th has been found beneath the nail heads...
