St Michael's church in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield was built in 1857. The church consists of a twin aisle nave, west transepts, chancel and a south west tower with spire. The church is built from sandstone with an ashlar dressing.
Most of the church was destroyed in a fire in 1964. The rebuilt church was designed in the Early Decorated Style to match the surviving tower and south aisle.
Finally, after nine months (though the vast majority of that time with nothing happening) Project #108 an Auster Antarctic is completed (bar a bit of varnish). Hopefully i can speed up a bit through the last quarter of the year and get a couple more done before the end of the year.
Weaverham is a village in central Cheshire, near to Northwich. Weaverham is next to Owley Wood which is part of the Mersey Forest.
Weaverham has Saxon origins, the name means the village near the winding river (the nearby river Weaver). The crossing of the river is likely to be why the village was formed in the first place. Weaverham remained a quiet village for centuries though grew notably in the 1930s due to an influx of workers for an ICI facility.
Weaverham's parish church is dedicated to St Mary. The tower dates from the 15th century, much of the rest from the 16th, though there has been a church on the site since Saxon times.
Weaverham has no railway station of it's own but is a short walk away from Action Bridge station.
You may have wondered (though most likely have not as i suspect you are normal) how i manage to create the graphs such as on this page which shows the rolling stock and train companies i have traveled on over the course of a year. The answer is, i have listed all of my journies on rail in a little black book! I don't write down the numbers (my train spotting days can be left in my teens) but i note the type of train i have been on, and who operates it.
This then allows me to create graphs using Google Sheets and sometimes i publish them at the end of the year. So, i have been doing this for a number of years now but my book has finally run out of new pages! But fear not, i will start a new book next week...
