Taken about 8.00 a.m. with the bandstand of 1884 to the left ( www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1388688 ), a late C19 cast-iron shelter to the right ( www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1388690 ), and the crossing tower of the cathedral in the background. The arboretum itself was designed and laid out by Edward Milner (1819-84) in 1870-2 and opened in 1872, following an act of 1870 which had enabled Lincoln Corporation to purchase Monks Ley Common, part of which was sold for housing to finance the creation of public gardens: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000985 .

Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [ The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [ A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury, with the bellcote and a rose window placed, unusually, at the east end, so that they face towards the village. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [ The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [ A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

The church, with the exception of the W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 to the designs of Lynam and Rickman of Stoke-on-Trent on the same plan as its Georgian predecessor . It was equipped throughout with stained glass by C. E. Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. Pevsner referred to the interior being in the "constant twilight" of Kempe's glass, although large trees in the churchyard to the south also contribute to the gloom. The N aisle has dormer windows, one of them just visible in this shot, and I wonder if these were installed as an afterthought, once it was seen how dark the interior was after the installation of the glass.

Built in 1845 to the designs of Francis Thompson (or possibly Sancton Wood); the arcade was originally open, forming an entrance loggia, and was matched by a similar one on the platform side. The current treatment of the entrance front dates from 1971.

Built to designs of Lewis Cubitt, 1854. The curved plan reflects the original alignment of Pancras Road. List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1113244 .

From N. Built in 1842 as a toll house; the principal ground-floor room was used for meetings of the Conservators of the river Cam who had been appointed under an act of 1702 for making the River Cam "more navigable from Clay-Hithe-Ferry, to the Queen's Mill [Cambridge]": list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1127370 .

Built in 1851-2 for the Great Northern Railway to the designs of Lewis Cubitt. The arches supporting the roof were originally of laminated timber, but were replaced with wrought-iron plate in 1886-7. List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1078328 .

The S front seen from the terrace of St Pancras station. Built 1851-2 for the Great Northern Railway to the designs of Lewis Cubitt, who wrote that "The building will depend for its effect on the largeness of some of the features, its fitness for its purpose and its characteristic expression of that purpose" [Steven Parissien , The English Railway Station (2014), pp.11-12].

List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1078328 . I think that a fault had resulted in this half of the station being virtually deserted - the train that I was about to catch usually leaves from one of these platforms, but departed from platform 0, on the east side of the station, to the confusion of people who were expecting to find a different train there.

Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. This window, dated 1894, shows scenes from the nativity and the early life of Christ, from the journey of the magi to the flight into Egypt.

This window commemorates the nearby battle of Blore Heath (1459), depicting Henry VI on the left with his wife, Margaret of Anjou, on the right, and St George in the centre. What the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls an "unreliable tradition" claims that Queen Margaret observed the battle from Mucklestone church tower.

The anvil came from a forge that stood opposite the church and was traditionally the one used.
