St Clether Well & Chapel, Cornwall

Built in C15 and restored by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1897. Water from the well runs in a channel through the chapel under the altar and exits on the opposite side.

'In this remote setting... chapel and well-house evoke perhaps more powerfully than anywhere in Cornwall a sense of the medieval religious landscape' (Beacham & Pevsner)

A side view of the well-house with narrow slated roof and low walls to the front. On the right is the north wall of the chapel with an arched window. The area around both are luxuriant with greenery.
A view of the west side of the chapel with the entrance doorway and a mullioned window above. The south side is plain, apart from a small opening at ground level at the far end for the water from the well to exit the chapel.

Nut is supported by Shu the god of air, and the ram-headed Heh deities, while Geb reclines beneath. Book of the Dead of Nesitanebtashru. British Museum.

The Merry Maidens stone circle the day after visiting the 'Between Worlds' Ithell Colquhoun exhibition at Tate St Ives. A breast-like formation of clouds appears suspended over the circle

Illustration showing a giant female figure - the Egyptian sky goddess, Nut - poised on tiptoe and her fingertips, arched over four figures. Three of the figures encompassed by her arched body are standing, the fourth reclines on the ground. The central standing figure has his arms upraised to the sky/Nut's body, each of his hands with open palms gesturing to the pubic region of Nut on one side, and her pendulous breasts on the other. He is flanked by two horned, ram-headed figures with their arms extended towards him, as if to support his upraised arms.
Framed by two outlying, earthfast boulders, in the distance can be seen the grey stones of the Merry Maidens stone circle, standing out in a grassy, green pasture under a grey, cloudy sky. An undulant, breast-like pattern of grey cloud hovers over the circle

Hey Cornish people, you seen the chaos Musk unleashed in the USA, right?
Well, Nige Al Faraj stated that - if Deform wins the council elections - they'd implement something similar for Cornwall County Council.
Only mugs, idiots and absolute racists vote for that charlatan's company!
