#Wildlife in my #OnePlaceStudy. Fifteen species caught on camera over the last couple of years at #Fawsley in #Northamptonshire, where I study the dead and photograph the living! #Butteflies #Birds #Wildflowers #Dragonflies #Squirrel #Fungus

Hopping back in time to June 25th for this week's #ThickTrunkTuesday. Another #Oak tree (and supporting cast) beside Big Waters lake at #Fawsley, #Northamptonshire (my local #OnePlaceStudy). The sun has not long risen, and it's golden rays are illuminating the mist rising off the surface of the water. A magical moment.

This wonderful old Oak on the West side of Big Waters lake, photographed on Sunday, is one of my favourites. That said, I do have a lot of favourite trees at #Fawsley! #ThickTrunkTuesday #OnePlaceStudy

For #TombTuesday, the alabaster tomb of Sir Richard Knightley and his wife Jane, née Skenard, in St Mary's church at #Fawsley, #Northamptonshire, my local #OnePlaceStudy. Sir Richard died in 1534 and Jane in 1539. On the North side of the tomb (facing us) the couple's four daughters are depicted, on the South side their eight sons, and on the West, the Knightley arms and crest.

It's wet and miserable here today. Lifting the gloom a little with these backlit #Autumn Beech leaves at #Fawsley yesterday morning, when it was sunny and bright. I love watching the seasons change in my local #OnePlaceStudy

The weather has mostly been lousy of late, and my opportunities to get out during the occasional bright spells have been limited. Consoling myself by remembering the gorgeous early morning light at #Fawsley, #Northamptonshire, one of my #OnePlaceStudies, on my birthday back in September.

I hope these Summer residents of my local #OnePlaceStudy, #Fawsley in #Northamptonshire, have had a safe journey South. 🌍 Will any of them be back next year? #OnePlaceStudies combine #FamilyHistory, #LocalHistory and more besides - including #Wildlife / #Nature / #NaturalHistory in the case of this OPS! #Swallows

At the heart of my #Fawsley #OnePlaceStudy are its lakes, Fawsley Hall (now a hotel, but previously the home of the Knightley family) and the church of Fawsley St Mary which is full of marvellous memorials to Knightleys of centuries past. #OnePlaceStudies #LocalHistory #Landscape

Looking forward to finding and following #genealogy / #OneNameStudy / #OnePlaceStudy / #LocalHistory people here! In addition to my own family tree I pursue the Atcherley one-name / surname study, and #OnePlaceStudies of Waters Upton in #Shropshire and #Fawsley in #Northamptonshire (pictured).
