_iconic-linlithgow-spire-is-gleaming-golden-once-again-following-400000-restoration.webp "<br/>An iconic church spire in Linlithgow, West Lothian, is once again gleaming golden following successful completion of a £400k restoration project that has saved it from potential collapse.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The Crown of Thorns spire of St Michael’s Parish Church – a unique and eye-catching piece of public sculpture, visible from both the M9 and the Edinburgh-Glasgow train line – has undergone thorough refurbishment to repair extensive rot in its structural timbers and replace the external cladding. The new cladding, a bronze alloy, returns the spire’s colour to the golden glow of the original structure when erected in 1964. This time, however, the gold is here to stay, aided by modern sealing technology designed to keep the Scottish weather at bay for decades to come.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Retired architect Brian Lightbody, who led the project, said “From investigative surveys, we knew that the timber structure under the external cladding had been badly affected by water ingress. But the extent of the damage uncovered as all the old cladding was removed has demonstrated that the only alternative to major restoration would have been removal of the entire Crown – in itself a demanding and costly project, and a deeply unattractive prospect for funders.")

_oap-blocked-into-own-garden-by-chain-link-fence-over-bizarre-neighbour-row.webp "A bemused OAP found his garden gate blocked by a chain-link fence in a bizarre row over a 90cm strip of land owned by his neighbour.<br/><br/>David Breeze, 80, believes the barrier was built following a dispute over him crossing a small strip of land to reach a public footpath when leaving his back garden.<br/><br/>Mr Breeze has regularly used the gate at the property in Reedham, Norfolk for the last 23 years.<br/><br/>He said he had made attempts to contact the landowner, Chris Mutten, to ensure he was not trespassing.<br/><br/>He uses the footpath, which runs east from Yareview Close to Cliff Close, to walk to the doctors surgery and post office as it cuts across a field connecting two halves of the village.<br/><br/>The row comes as angry villagers have objected to a controversial plan to build 27 new homes in the field owned by Mr Mutten, who is also a parish councillor.<br/><br/>In the latest twist over their dispute, Mr Breeze found his garden gate, which opens onto the footpath, had been blocked by a high chain-link fence two weeks ago.<br/><br/>The grandad-of-four, who lives with his wife Helen, admits he does have to trespass to get to the path - but that the piece of land is just 90cm wide.<br/><br/>He said: \")

_blessing-of-the-hops-prayer-at-hogs-back-brewery.webp "Hogs Back Brewery blesses hop garden, continues ‘beating the bounds' tradition<br/><br/>Surrey-based Hogs Back Brewery recently held its annual Hop Blessing at its brewery and hop garden in Tongham. Around 100 people gathered in the evening sunshine to enjoy the ceremony and the ‘beating the bounds' walk, back as part of the event for a second year.<br/><br/>The Hop Blessing took place on Ascension Day (9 May), the day on which crop blessings were traditionally held for centuries. Rev. Claire Holt, of St Paul's Church in Tongham, blessed the crops and, with Hogs Back Brewery managing director Rupert Thompson, led guests on the walk around the 8.5-acre hop garden.<br/><br/>Blessing of crops was observed in rural communities in a bid to encourage a bountiful harvest.Hogs Back revived the tradition in 2014 when they planted their original hop garden over the road from the brewery and continued it when they relocated to the current, larger site.Currently, the 6,000 hop plants in the Hogs Back garden are climbing up strings, spurred by the recent rainfall, and the brewery is hoping for an ample crop to harvest in late August. <br/><br/>Beating the bounds similarly took place around Ascension Day, when the priest would lead a group around the parish boundaries, as a way of instilling this vital information: your parish dictated how much tax you paid, and where you could be buried, for example.The ‘beating the bounds' name may have its origins in a tradition of beating children's heads at each of the boundary stones to drive home the information - a part of the custom that Hogs Back is not observing!<br/><br/>Rev. Holt said: \")
