On the 30th November 1905, exactly 120 years ago, our founder, Ivor Bulmer-Thomas, was born in Cwmbran, Monmouthshire. After founding the FoFC in 1957, Ivor saved many churches from ruin, neglect, and demolition.

Curtain call for the English National Opera's superb Partenope. Fun. I see the Guardian and the Telegraph both give it 4 stars, which is also what I concluded.

How medieval bell ringers rang the church bells. Perhaps this is a Sanctus bell; there must’ve been an interesting pulley system given the geometry of the angle of the rope. (Stoke Dry, Rutland)
