Ye Olde Cock Tavern is a public house on London's Fleet Street. Originally built before the 17th century, it was rebuilt, including the interior (which is thought to include work by carver Grinling Gibbons) on the other side of the road in the 1880s when a branch of the Bank of England was built where it stood. However, in the 1990s a fire broke out and destroyed many of the original ornaments, and the building has since gone through a restoration using photographs. It has been frequented by Samuel Pepys, Alfred Tennyson and Charles Dickens

  • Lower Slaughter in The Cotswolds, United Kingdom. Lower Slaughter village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream, crossed by two footbridges. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold stone. The name of the village derives form the Old English term ‘slough’ meaning ‘wet land’. The Cotswolds is an area in south central England. The area is defined by the bedrock of limestone that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone.

  • 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 north 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'. 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.

  • Workmen carry out the reinstallation of ‘Out of Tune’ by AK Dolven with a cherry picker and a crane on the 21st of May 2020 on the seafront in Folkestone, United Kingdom. This sound installation was originally part of the Folkestone Triennial Art festival of 2011.  A K Dolven’s installation ‘Out of Tune’ features a sixteenth century tenor bell from Scraptoft Church in Leicestershire, which had been removed for not being in tune with the others. It is suspended from a steel cable strung between two 20m high steel beams, placed 30m apart. The bell was cast by Hugh Watts in the seventeenth century in Leicester. The Watts family were the leading bell founders in that city in the early 17th century. In all, they were responsible for almost two hundred castings for churches in the county. Hugh Watts prospered and was the Mayor of Leicester when King Charles 1st visited the city in 1634.
