Loved the behind the scenes domestic details on a fascinating tour of Combermere Abbey today. The game larder, fire trucks and the Waterloo tower with its Joyce clock. #cheshire #history #Shropshire #chester #whitchurch

Your regular invitation to reflect on the #medieval origins of #Chester's unique #Rows - supposedly built to counteract the supposed 'debris slope' from the ruins of #Roman buildings to the street - or were they?

Thank you Katie, a really interesting tour, learnt loads I didn't know about the city I live in. @aletadoran.bsky.social was telling us all about this tiny #TrenaCox window high on the wall which depicts the goose St Werburgh brought back to life!
A long stretch with my camera I have to say.

Look up!! Thanks to all who came along to today's tour looking at the #stainedglass of #TrenaCox in #Chester. Special thanks to @aletadoran.bsky.social for sharing her knowledge. And to all at St Werburgh's and St John's for the warm welcome.

Poppyfields at Chester Cathedral review As soon as you enter The Cathedral you are transported into a different world. The entire Nave of the building becomes an enormous vivid poppy field. The installation by previous Cathedral visitors…

Only on this week at The Cathedral : Review

Poppy Fields by Lexmuralis at @chestercathedral.bsky.social until February 22nd. Stunning and poignant.

Two packed private views in two evenings which just proves #Chester wants more art! Chester Visual Arts exhibition on Thursday & Trena Cox at the Grosvenor Museum on Friday. Trena was a #stainedglass artist who lived & worked in Watergate Street. www.instagram.com/p/DGFgMG7NLG...

The historic "Rows" in Cheshter - medieval streets above the streets. Unique and a real throw back to centuries long gone. Remove some of the modern elements (lights) from the scene and it feels like it could be an image from the 15 century. #chester #therows #architecture #historic

A definite must-see! Looking forward to collaborating on a couple of guided walks as part of this celebration of #stainedglass artist Trena Cox and her life and work in #Chester

It's #February at last. The birds are singing, and the snowdrops are back for another year. And a Valentine's postbox topper has appeared in the village. Suddenly, everything feels just that little bit better!! #springontheway #cheshire
