St.Alkmund's Church stands at the highest point in the town of Shrewsbury. The church was rebuilt in 1795. A few alterations were made in the 19th century, but starting in 1895 a major programme of work was carried out which transformed the appearance of the church. Two world wars and a drastic re-organisation of parish boundaries left St Alkmund's short of money, and the building gradually fell into disrepair. Since the year 2000 a major effort has been made to rescue the building. The work has included re-roofing the church, installing photo-voltaic panels on the roof and re-glazing the windows with handmade clear glass as they would have appeared in 1795. This photo shows one of the clear glass windows with another clear glass window on the other side of the aisle. The reflections include a somewhat wobbly spire of the nearby St.Mary's Church on the left, and the surrounding buildings include the roof of the Bear Steps Cafe and art gallery.

Saturday Self Challenge: Photograph the view out of a window and use your window as a frame for the picture. Our home was built at the second half of the 19th century, and still has the original sash windows in 2 of the upstairs rooms. The sash windows are ill-fitting and draughty, and so there are 2 panels of secondary glazing in front to minimize the problem. The whole window consists of 2 larger sections topped by 12 small square panes. The paintwork is poor as is the putty work, and at least 2 of the small panes have cracks in them, which you might be able to see in the PiP.

Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial is a cemetery and chapel between the villages of Coton and Madingley in Cambridgeshire, England. It was opened in 1956, and commemorates American servicemen and women who died in World War II. It is administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The cemetery dates to 1943, when it was opened as a temporary cemetery on 30.5 acres of land donated by the University of Cambridge. After the war, it was selected as the only permanent American World War II military cemetery in the British Isles. The cemetery contains 3,809 headstones, with the remains of 3,812 servicemen, including airmen who died over Europe and sailors from North Atlantic convoys. The inscribed Wall of the Missing includes four representative statues of servicemen, sculpted by American artist Wheeler Williams. The wall records the names of 5,127 missing servicemen, most of whom died in the Battle of the Atlantic or in the strategic air bombardment of northwest Europe. The cemetery is beautifully maintained, but is such a sad reminder of the pity of war.
