  • Important City of London figures, one time Lord Mayor of London Dick Whittington and Thomas Gresham. Richard Whittington (c. 1354-1423) was a medieval merchant and politician, and the real-life inspiration for the pantomime character Dick Whittington. He was four times Lord Mayor of London, a Member of Parliament and a sheriff of London. In his lifetime he financed a number of public projects, such as drainage systems in poor areas of medieval London, and a hospital ward for unmarried mothers. He bequeathed his fortune to form the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington which, nearly 600 years later, continues to assist people in need. He knew three of the five kings who reigned during his lifetime. Sir Thomas Gresham (c. 1519 - 21 November 1579) was an English merchant and financier who worked for King Edward VI of England and for Edward's half-sisters, Queens Mary I and Elizabeth I.

  • Two 17th century slabs, each 2.00m in length, bearing full-length effigies of a man and woman in Pennygowan Cemetery (Caol Fhaoileann), Salen Isle of Mull, Scotland. This ruined chapel, which served the N portion of the parish of Torosay, is probably of early 13th century date. No medieval references to it have been identified, and its dedication is unknown. The records of the Synod of Argyll in the middle of the 17th century show some uncertainty as to the status of the charge; it is referred to both as a 'Chappell' and as a 'paroach'. The building may already have been derelict at this period, although the earliest evidence of its condition dates from 1787 when it was shown as 'an old kirk' on a map of Torosay parish. Salen (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Sàilean) is a settlement on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It is on the east coast of the island, on the Sound of Mull, approximately halfway between Craignure and Tobermory. The full name of the settlement is 'Sàilean Dubh Chaluim Chille' (the black little bay of St Columba)...http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mull/pennygown/index.html

  • An old City of London street sign for Poultry EC2 beneath a rusting police bylaws sign on a late 1980s brick wall. Before the older signage was replaced in the mid-1990s for more modern architecture, these signs will have disappeared or available through vintage auctions. Poultry is a short street in the City of London. It is an eastern continuation of Cheapside, between Old Jewry and Mansion House Street, near Bank junction. It takes its name, like other medieval roads nearby such as Milk Street and Bread Street, from the various produce once sold at Cheapside, meaning "market-place" in Old English. The street gave its name to a prison, Poultry Compter, once located there.

  • An elderly Spanish lady walks towards a strong setting sun that shines through an old medieval street in the beautiful town of Valldemossa in north-west Majorca, one of the Balearic Island. She leans forward, striding with a quick pace while holding a traditional fan called an abanico. Valldemossa is at 400 kilometres above sea level, the highest community on the island and in the middle of the valley of Sierra de Tramuntana. Part of the village goes up into the mountain slope and sits on the slopes of the Tramuntana mountains. The town gained some sort of fame when Polish composer Frederic Chopin came and stayed at the Carthusian monastery (Cartoixa Reial) with his lover George Sand in the winter of 1838-39.

  • The protected UNESCO World heritage Site at the Grand Beguinage in the historic city of Leuven, on 24th March 2017, in Belgium. The Grand Béguinage of Leuven, or in Dutch Groot Begijnhof van Leuven is a well preserved and completely restored historical quarter containing a dozen streets south of the city. About 3 hectares (7.5 acres) in size, with some 300 apartments in almost 100 houses, it is one of the largest remaining béguinages in the Low Countries. Founded in 1232, it was a community for women (Beguines), widows or spinsters wishing for a religious but independent life. It is now an area for professors, students and staff of Leuven University.
