At a time of year when our thoughts drift to the places of the bible, mine also go to the men who experienced their last Christmas in them. Remembering my Gt Gt Uncle Bertie, killed on this day in 1917 serving with 2/Civil Service Rifles, just to the north of Jerusalem. #ww1

Beautiful, crisp weather for a Boxing Day walk across the estate up to the place I call Sir John’s prospect and then back through the park. A walk filled with views of Arlington not many realise exist, or bother to seek out.

A suitably wintery scene for this year's Triskele Heritage Christmas Lecture - a field barn at Nether Haddon (Derbys) surrounded by the earthworks of Roman fields, a mediaeval village, and post-mediaeval lead mining. I'll be online at 7pmGMT on 30 Dec: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/buildings-...

I’ve just added three of my recent linocuts to my website. If you’d like to order in time for Christmas my last order date for UK address is 18th December. You can find all my available linocut prints, here: timgodden.co.uk/shop/linocut #linocut #printmaker #art

Quite the show this morning over Arlington.

I'm sorry to hear of the death of the sculptor, carver and letterer Richard Kindersley, who followed in his father David's footsteps at his Cambridge workshop. He'll be best known to many people for his beautiful memorial in Dunblane Cathedral to the young victims of the 1996 school shooting.

Killigrew Monument, Falmouth. A new linocut now available from my website. #linocut #architecture #art

Gentle progress on a new linocut today. All things being equal this should be ready for this weekend’s Connect and Create Festival in Barnstaple, and available on my website shortly afterwards. #linocut #printmaking #art

WESTWICK ARCH The arch and its gatehouses formed the entrance to the Westwick House estate in Norfolk. In 1980 the arch was demolished - Hand burnished, signed and numbered linocut print, measures 29cm x 26cm approx. Available now from my website, here: timgodden.co.uk/shop/p/westw... #linocut

I’ve spent the week working on some new pieces in time for my one and only Christmas fair at Barnstaple Pannier Market on 7th December. This new linocut of St. John the Evangelist, Countisbury will be available alongside a range of my other work. If you’re in the area why not come along? #art

It was another beautiful wintery sunrise over Arlington this morning to accompany the school run.

My studio space is rather intimate, and sometimes I wish for more space, but I do love the ever-changing view from the window.

Sir John’s Folly A new work in response to the forgotten architecture of a failed plan, hidden in the undergrowth of Arlington. A place that has beguiled me ever since I’ve lived here. #architecture #art #place

Gorgeous light from my studio window this afternoon. It’s hard not to be inspired by such a view.

One of the great joys of collage is how playful you can be when layering forms, colours and textures. Here is a detail from one of the pieces I’m currently working on. #collage #process #art #artist

A little insight into the process of creating “Storm at Crowcombe, 1724”. #art #architecture

Time races on relentlessly. It’s already a week since I was traversing Exmoor with my dearest chum, walking out to distant churches, along the old ways, finding those thin places in the landscape where the layers of memory feel closer. Here’s one of the places we ventured out to at Culbone.

A new work, “Storm at Crowcombe, 1724”, is included in the Burton at Bideford’s annual open exhibition. If you’re in the area you can see the exhibition alongside the others selected by the panel until 21st December. #art

A new linocut print; Killigrew Monument with Arwenack House. #linocut #architecture

A stained glass window memorial to Lieutenant Edmund Gay at Aldborough church in Norfolk, included within the design is his last landscape. A way to transport the viewer standing in a quiet English parish church, to the corner of a foreign field in which Edmund now lies. We will remember them. #ww1

Autumn is really going for it outside my studio window.

Still bumping into these, @typejunky.bsky.social…

A trip to the Post Office, a chance reading of a sentence in Arthur Mee’s volume on Devon sat in the car park, and a returned cross I had no idea existed discovered. #ww1 #memory

A detail of a new work in progress on my table at the moment. #collage #art #artist #texture #collageart

A jaunt over to Somerset with the boys today to visit and sketch the church at Crowcombe, and what a treat it was. #churchcrawling #architecture

The first dry day of this Half-term meant I was able to get out with the boys on the estate. We walked out to Loxhore along tracks our ancestors helped to wear into the land.

That’ll be two Norfolk @nationaltrust.org.uk sites represented at Ink, Paper & Print Festival this Saturday. #architecture #art #printmaking

Against a riot of glorious Autumnal colour and framed in oak, here is my new work featuring the Hobart mausoleum at Blickling Hall, Norfolk. #architecture #art #place

A glorious Autumn evening at Arlington. It’s on evenings such as these that I feel very fortunate to call this place home. #Autumn

I’ve been working on a new piece off and on for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully I’ll finish it in the next day and I’ll be able to share the finished work. But, for now, here’s a detail from the work in progress. #art #maker

A visit, two decades in the making, to the church of St. Enodoc, tucked into the folds of the Cornish coastline. #churchcrawling #architecture #cornwall

Is there a finer pairing ever to have written a church guidebook than Edmund Blunden and John Piper for Long Melford in Suffolk? #architecture #churchcrawling

Here are a few photographs showing the stages from drawing, to cutting, to first proof of my Felbrigg Hall linocut. #printmaking #art

If you’re in or around Falmouth on Saturday 18 October why not pop along to the Ink, Paper & Print Fair. There are going to be some amazing creatives and I’m incredibly honoured (and a little nervous) to be alongside them. If you are around why not come and say hello!

The first proof of my Hoare Monument linocut design is complete. I will be editioning a small batch of hand-burnished prints shortly and they’ll be available on my website or in person at my upcoming fairs. #linocut #architecture

I’m working on a new piece today and also proofing my latest linocut. Here’s a detail from my recently completed Arlington St James collage. #art #architecture

An Autumn walk out across the estate, through fields made by my ancestors, to sketch Loxhore church. #architecture

I didn’t manage to get any proofs printed today, but I’m happy with the progress made. It’s the first of two Harvest Festival services tomorrow, so I get to enjoy the delights of Parracombe church, and I might just get a couple of prints done beforehand. #printmaking #architecture

That’s the cut finished, with a bit of luck I should be able to get a couple of test prints done this afternoon. #linocut #printmaking #architecture #art

There’s a certain John Piper quality to my freshly tinted block, waiting to be cut. #architecture #linocut #printmaking

I took a wander out to Loxhore church yesterday, across the estate and through the fields made by my ancestors. Standing sentinel, a marker of the old boundary between Quarry Close and Easter Deer Park, is our youngest son Wilfred’s favourite tree.

One of my older architectural linocuts of Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk. I grew up not far from here and it was a regular haunt for family walks. If you’d like a signed and numbered print for your wall you can find it here: timgodden.co.uk/shop/p/felbrigg-hall #architecture #linocut #art

It’s been nice to do some exploring, making sketches and gathering inspiration for paintings. Here’s a few photographs from the last couple of weeks.
