The unusual (its believed one of two in the land) mediaeval nave of SS Peter & Paul, Hannington. There is an arcade central to the nave. #hannington #Church #architecure #arcade #unusual #nave #gothicarchitecture #central #beautiful #northamptonshire (at Hannington, Northamptonshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpR5vT4ogsP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The wrong sort of biodiversity in one of the Grade I listed churches we care for. Fungal attack is caused by damp, in this case resulting from high ground levels. This is the type of defect we are used to come across, often the cause is explicable and the solution appreciable. TREAT THE CAUSE, NOT THE SYMPTOMS Always consult an accredited conservation architect or surveyor. #fungal #churcharchitect #Church #decay #damp #history #ourheritage #care https://www.instagram.com/p/CpR4amSInAI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

St Catherine's Chapel, Abbotsbury. Due to its prominent location and its reuse as a beacon it was saved from the ravages of the reformation. #reformation #stcatherineschapel #beacon #englishchannel #View #abbotsbury #saved #sky #medievalarchitecture (at St Catherine's Chapel, Abbotsbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPR-0YITnP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Winding gear in the overgrown abandoned clay pits which supplied the clay for bricks to build Botley. This gear was used to pull along wagons to transport the clay; now beautifully the site is returning itself to nature. #botley #Oxford #bricks #clay #claypits #decay #brickworks #cumnor #industrialheritage #abandoned #overgrown #nature #rewilding #windinggear #industry #beautiful (at Cumnor Hill, Oxford) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cohm0sTI8sM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday we went a tour of the industry leading PPE manufacturer JSP's factory. This paradoxically is set within the rolling Oxfordshire countryside, in a listed former blanket mill, but produces some of leading most advanced head protection products on the market. The factory makes over 4 million hard hats a year, other Oxfordshire and Germany 🇩🇪 based JSP factories produce other equipment. Moreover, along with other companies, they have been onshoring production in the UK 🇬🇧 & the EU 🇪🇺. With the rise in automation, the benefits of guaranteed quality control and control of supply chain means that making in Europe is the future for businesses. Additionally, being based in Europe means that workers have workplace rights, green legislation, and culture encourages manufacturers to produce electricity onsite (JSP we understand is in effect carbon neutral, despite manufacturing plastic products). Jsp has a zero landfill policy. #hse #jsp #ppe #hardhat #oxfordshire #onshoring #britishmade #madeinbritain #🇬🇧 #manufacturer #mill #healthandsafety #germany🇩🇪 #europe #eu #workplacerights #safety #buybritish #goinggreen #thefuture (at JSP Safety) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coau2S2oSAK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
