3/3 Moses and St Michael, c1860s at Stoke Damerel, Plymouth. I wonder who the workshop(s) was/were? St Michael has a Robert Bayne vibe about him, and yet somehow... not quite. Today is #DevonDay.

Luffincott One-Place Study. Image: A photo taken in Winter and showing, on the left, a gate in a gap in a hedgerow, with a grassy field behind it; on the right, a narrow tarmacced lane leading away from us and running between the aforementioned hedgerow and another on its right; further away (at the end of the lane), the top half of a cottage, and several leafless trees. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

Image shows an old Great Western Railway advert, promoting trips to Devon at the cost of a penny per mile.
Happy #DevonDay to all who celebrate...
I wish they still charged just a penny per mile ! 😁

What better way to celebrate Devon Day than with a beautiful hand-painted map of Devon from 1575!
It comes from our Atlas of the counties of England and Wales, based on a survey by Christopher Saxton.

The last will and testament of Mary Parminter written on vellum at A la Ronde, Devon during the behind the scenes filming for Hidden Treasures Series 2 ©National Trust Images/Paul Harris
To celebrate #DevonDay we’re sharing details of a new exhibition ‘Archaeology at A la Ronde’, which starts with Mary Parminter’s original handwritten will from 1849.
The tantalising description in her will of a garden lost to time inspired a search for evidence with an archaeological excavation. 🧵
