Wednesday Image Search – Lea

Posted on July 13, 2022 by vanbraman

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

After searching for ‘hea’ last week I will search for ‘lea’ this week.

What images will I find?

Red Leaf in Crawfordsville, IndianaWith the first image I have a beautiful red leaf on a sidewalk in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

old men, learning, memoriesFor  the second image we have a picture that was titled ‘Learning from the Past’. This picture brings back some great memories from what is now my past.Cleaned Plate, Red Tractor Cafe, Canadian ThanksgivingNext we have a cleaned plate at the Red Tractor Cafe. Unfortunately, just like the food on the plate, the restaurant is gone. This is as close to a food picture I could find with this search.

Old Football Cleats, 1930 Football Cleats, Old Football Picture, Tarkio Missouri, High School FootballThis picture is of high school football players wearing cleats. One of these players is my Grandpa Braman.

Which is your favorite of these ‘lea’ pictures?

What should I search for next? I do have at few more ‘ea’ searches I want to share.

Remembering a Visit to Worksop Priory

Posted on July 12, 2022 by vanbraman

Earlier today I found an interesting video about Richard Barnard which made me think of this post I wrote back in 2017. I have some good memories of visiting Worksop where Barnard was a vicar in the early 1600’s.  I wrote this post on the day of my visit there.

Today I visited the Worksop Priory church.

Worksop Priory, Worksop, Anglican, Worksop EnglandThe full name is the Priory Church of our Lady and St. Cuthbert in Worksop.

As large as this church building is, it was even larger in the past before the dissolution of monasteries in 1539.

Worksop Priory Nave, Worksop, UKThe interior of the church building is really interesting. Here is a picture of the nave of the church. I will write some posts in the future about some of the features of the church.

Tonight I just want to share some basics and why this church building is important to me.

Worksop, Vicars, Priors, Richard BarnardHere is a list of the Vicars and Priors of Worksop. The list of Vicars goes back to 1276 and the list of Priors to 1180.

Richard Barnard, Worksop, Vicar, 1601Here is a closeup of the list showing Richard Barnard who became Vicar in 1601. Richard Barnard is my 11th great grandfather. For more about Richard Barnard you can visit my posts Christ’s College Cambridge and Scrooby.

Wooden Altar, Jacobean, Worksop Priory, Richard BarnardI met up with one of the church members who knew a lot of the history of the priory. He showed me around and spoke about the history of some of the objects and architectural details. One of the last things he showed me was this wooden Jacobean communion table that would have been the one used by Richard Barnard when he was the Vicar at Worksop.

It was amazing to see and touch this item that was used by my 11th great grandfather.
