The symbolism of cathedrals and churches, so dominant in medieval society, remains as strong today. Here in Galway’s St Nicholas Church, angels heads were destroyed by Cromwell. St Nicholas’s is the largest medieval church in Ireland - legend states that Christopher Columbus worshipped here when he visited the city in 1477. #church #churches #religion #travel #christophercolumbus #galway #ireland #stnicholas #notredame #restoration #cathedral #medieval #medievalhistory #cromwell #angels #reformation #visitireland #notredamedeparis #catholichurch #catholic #culture #culturevulture #irelandtravel #medievalart #symbolism #culturalsignifigance

A rather fabulous display of Eland classics at the Leaping Hare Country Store @wykenvineyards - not only do they have a wide-ranging and engaging display of 📚 books from independent publishers in their book room, but they also have a vineyard, coffee shop, restaurant and a fish pond in which we refreshed ourselves with a little afternoon swim - never miss the opportunity to swim, particularly when book shopping ... #countrystore #travelliterature #supportindependentpublishing #independentpublishing #independentbookshops #booksofinstagram #books #readmore #reading #bookshops #elandclassics #eland #suffolk #countrylife #bookshopsofinstagram #vineyard #nevermisstheopportunitytoswim #travelbooks #readmore #bookshelves #jigsaw #lesleyblanch
‘His books should be essential reading for every school kid, every politician and anyone who has anything to do with government. He gives an insight into the mechanics of people’s lives and minds.’ Bob Hardy, Franz Ferdinand. In Lighthouse, keepers and their families opened their souls to Tony Parker. With this revelatory portrait of a small community, he gave us an exceptional insight into both human nature and the British character. #elandclassics #1970s We have two of Tony Parker’s books on the #Eland list - The People of Providence and Lighthouse.

We have been intrigued and entertained by the series of delightful vintage postcards that have recently arrived in the office from ‘Felicity and Charles’ - will there be a reveal at some point, or will we continue to search the globe for our postcarte correspondents? #travel #postcards #write #writers #exmouthmarket #supportindependentpublishing #travelliterature #post #intrigue #egypt #newyork #writemore #books #publishingoffice #postcardsfromtheworld #postcardplaces #travellers #travellerslife
Where else do you get to watch extraordinary travel documentaries with fairy lights and a glitter ball? Last night’s vision of Yemen in the 1970s, unsullied by the devastation of recent turmoil, was both beautiful and heartbreaking. And raised almost £800 for the Red Crescent and Médecins Sans Frontières. #travellersfilmclub #yemen #filmclub #travelwriting #eland #exmouthmarket #freeentry #supportindependentpublishing

This subtle watercolour was painted in rural France by Edwyn Sherard Burnaby (1830-1883) - a cousin to Eland author, Fred Burnaby (A Ride to Khiva). Like his cousin, Edwyn also embarked on a career in the army, alongside becoming MP for Leicestershire North. This romantic scene was painted by him as a young man, eschewing the traditional Grand Tour landmarks for rural farms, medieval villages and ruins around Paris and Auvergne. Does anyone recognise this view? #art #watercolour #travel #grandtour #france #auvergne #views #travelwriting #eland #travelclassics #khiva #fredburnaby #artists #rurallife #ruralfarms #medievalvillages #ruins #ruralfrance #watercolourist (Painting found by Barnaby)
