Not on any obvious 'through route' the historic 'Kepier Hospital' lies tucked away on the banks of the River Wear downstream from the city of Durham in NE England.
It has its roots at nearby Gilesgate where an almshouse (now St Giles Church) was founded by Bishop Flambard in 1112 AD and dedicated to God and St Giles, the patron saint of beggars and the crippled.
This building, which took over the almshouse at Gilesgate was re-founded around 1180 AD, by Bishop Hugh le Puiset.
At the Reformation, Kepier and its lands were granted to Henry VIII's Secretary of State, Sir William Paget, although later to a succession of lay owners.
Of the original building, the gatehouse remains intact, the mansion survives as ruins, and the farmhouse is in private use.
The 'Kepier Hospital' is a Scheduled Monument with Grade I and Grade II* listed building status.

Hardwick Hall rises proudly in the Derbyshire countryside, an exceptional example of Elizabethan architecture and part of the National Trust. The grand house, famed for its striking windows and ornate roofline, overlooks the atmospheric ruins of Hardwick Old Hall, a testament to the estate’s long history. Surrounded by rolling parkland and formal gardens, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the opulence of Historic England’s great country houses. A walk through the grounds blends heritage with nature, making it a favourite destination for those exploring #Derbyshire #ElizabethanArchitecture #HistoricEngland #NationalTrust #CountryHouse.

Final 'snow' picture from last weekend's venture outside into the great snowy wastes of Wearside in NE England!
Grabbed a few images from Sunderland's East End, of which this view of the Grade II listed Trafalgar Square was one.
The 14 almshouses were completed four years before that other Trafalgar Square in the capital and were constructed to house the families of lost seamen.
Funding came from the Muster Roll in 1840 and the almshouses were named in honour of the 76 sons of Sunderland who took part in the Battle of Trafalgar.

Billiards without Beer: The time London tried to cure itself of the booze

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/billiards-without-beer-the-time-london-tried-to-cure-itself-of-the-booze-86714/

Another view of the Lambton, Londonderry and Lumley Towers in Sunderland's East End, this time from a snow-covered Low Street alongside some of the former bonded warehouses located at Wylam Wharf.
As mentioned in my previous post, all three tower blocks are earmarked for demolition, once the residents have been relocated.
They have been a fixture of the East End landscape since the 1960's, so it will be strange to eventually not have their dominating presence part of the area's landscape.

On the Feast of the Epiphany, Sunderland's original parish church of the Holy Trinity – first time I've ever photographed it in the snow!
Thought it looked so good in this snowy setting, the warm hues of its brickwork contrasting against the cool tones of a cloudless deep blue winter sky.
The church originally opened in 1719 for the newly created and rapidly expanding Parish of Sunderland.
It served the community well until population movements from slum clearances saw ever decreasing congregations.
It finally closed its doors in 1988 and passed into the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
Recently, a major £4.3 million restoration project took place to conserve and regenerate this remarkable Grade I listed building.
It has been brought back into use as a community cultural hub, now going by its re-branded name of 'Seventeen Nineteen', referencing the year it was built.

Historic English #Churches: Deeply Valued, Difficult to Value

Across England, historic churches form a familiar part of our national landscape. They reflect centuries of history and offer spaces for community gathering, faith and worship, music and art, quiet reflection and are often a hub for vital local services

Historic England is commissioning a 6-month research project to explore how archaeological materials contribute to non-heritage science and innovation—think climate change, disease evolution, and mental wellbeing. We're seeking a skilled contractor to deliver impactful case studies and future-facing insights. The applicants must understand both archaeology and science, and thrive in research and analysis,

Looking at the #HistoricEngland listing for a building, and... I feel it just kind of referenced most of Britain?

Rievaulx Abbey was once home to a monk named Aelred in the 12th century, who some people today consider a gay saint.

@jim_easterbrook @opencage Seem to be mapped on #OpenStreetMap (not sure if from survey or from #HistoricEngland data), but could do with a bit of tagging refinement (note that even metal posts count as boundary_stone in OSM). Perhaps @BUnicycling can help.

THere's been plenty of research on World War One training trenches, some of it mentioned in this excellent article by a former colleague of mine Chris Burgess https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320282825_The_WW1_practice_trenches_on_Blaeberry_Hill_near_Rothbury_Northumberland_Coquetdale_Community_Archaeology_Excavations_in_2008#pf7 so I can't help but suspect it's the TV link to the dreadful #SASRogueheroes driving this year's festive announcement of all the stuff #HistoricEngland think will get them column inches...

Stunning discoveries in a field in #Rutland following accidental moments by a farmer over lockdown. Further information on recent work since it featured on #DiggingforBritain which also push the sites founding further back in time. All photos are credit #HistoricEngland and can be found in this article along with a great story of collaboration & partnership. Very jealous #archaeologist here!
