National Portrait Gallery, London via wikipedia George Frederic Watts (1817-1904), portrayed as a Renaissance Florentine by Louis Reid Deuchars - for those who read my post on Tuscany, Italy have you noticed a roundel by Della Robbia in the background of the painting? National Portrait Gallery London via wikipedia Dante Gabriel Rossetti by George Frederic Watts (1817 - 1904) The Watts Cemetery Chapel sits on the corner of a pretty Surrey country Lane in Compton, which leads on down to the Watts Gallery. The Gallery houses paintings and sculpture by George Frederick Watts the eminent Victorian artist, widely considered to be the greatest painter of his age. We had visited both the Gallery and Chapel many, many, moons ago, and the Chapel in particular has lingered long in my memory. When we were invited to lunch in Surrey yesterday, I suggested to J that perhaps we could leave our home earlier than necessary in order to renew our acquaintance with the Chapel - no time to do the Gallery as well. The Chapel was designed and built by Mary (1849-1938), wife of George, and is a unique fusion of Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Celtic, and Romanesque influence with Mary's own original style. It is impossible not to admire the work and inspiration that lies behind this beautiful little building. It is built on a grassy mound and the deep red terracotta brickwork contrasts strikingly against the surrounding cemetery landscape. The interior is colourfully decorated in hand painted gesso designs, rich in symbolic representation. It illustrates the dome of heaven with cherubim and seraphim. Winged messengers of darkness and light which alternate to face the viewer and then turn their back. In front of each is a disc that represents in turn light and dark, day and night, decay to stability. The whole is linked together by the tree of life whose roots are at the base and whose branches intertwine the symbols above. The eternal circle at the apex of the dome representing God. Radiating from this the angels closest to God are Cherubim, represented by babies' heads, each haloed by four wings in pink, blue, and gold, and seraphim in red. Seraphim in rich red blessing those below. Lower level winged messengers of darkness and light. Two of the discs held by the messengers of darkness and light - light holds birth and dark holds death. The tree of life is represented by a vine laden with grapes symbolic of “I am the true vine”. A golden terracotta girdle circles the interior with symbols representing the Holy Trinity. Whilst closely managed by Mary Watts the decoration of the Chapel was a community affair, with more than 70 villagers taking part. Many of the graves are also made of terracotta, and it is said that Mary Watts was concerned by the ugly appearance of her Aunt's grave and from this developed the idea of producing gravestones in terracotta. When her husband died, she placed his ashes in a gesso casket she had made two years earlier and set it on the central pedestal of the Chapel. Her own handmade terracotta candlesticks and a wreath of laurel, lilies and bay lay in front of the altar.
Offer your grandest struggles as fodder for your brightest future, and then release it to this New, Black Luna -- void of detachment, and full of expectant, grateful, weightless allowance.

It is often said that St Monans is the church nearest the sea in the whole of Scotland, and this may well be the case, being only around 20m from the edge. The church, one of the finest remaining from the Middle Ages in Scotland, was built by King David II Bruce (1329-71), initially for a small house of Dominican friars. It later became the Church of Scotland parish church. Though the church may never have been finished (it has a choir and transepts, with a short spire over the crossing, but lacks a nave), it has many features of architectural interest, notably the fine stone vaulting in the choir and the plain but handsome sedilia. White-washed throughout internally, the church is particularly light and attractive among ancient Scottish churches.

The Craigmiles famly is an important one in Cleveland, TN. In 1864, tragedy befell the family when young Nina Craigmiles went on a buggy ride with her grandfather. She was steering the horses when she lost control of them. The horses ran into an oncoming train, killing Nina instantly. Nina's father John Craigmiles arranged with the local Episcopal congregation to build them a church building in her honor along with this mausoleum at the rear of the property. The Mausoleum was built using fancy Italian marble. The walls are four feet thick and the entire memorial is 37 feet tall.The marble spire is topped with a cross. On the inside is a marble sarcophagus stnding in the center, surrounded by six shelves. Tragedy continued to befall the rest of the family. First, another child was born but died very soon after childbirth. Then, John Cragmiles fell on an icy street and soon thereafter died of blood poisoning. Finally, the mom Adelia was killed when she was hit by a car. Each family member was buried here. Now, for the "bleeding" part. Townspeople soon began to notice after Nina was buried here that a red substance over time begane to eminate from the marble. It would be cleaned only to reappear later. According to legend, after each death in the family, the redness got more intense. Some of those red streaks can be seen in the picture, look for the note I left. There is a logical explanaiton, albeit boring if you like the haunted tales. Italian marble can contain small traces of lead, and lead will turn red over time when exposed to the elements.
