Lock keeper cottage, a pretty little place

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

This lock is one of the many situated along the Grand Union Canal. It is conveniently located right next to a footbridge, making it easily accessible with a short walk from Warwick. The Grand Union Canal Walk also runs adjacent to it.

After the devastating Coventry Blitz on November 14, 1940, the Goodrest Anti-Aircraft Battery came into existence. This defensive installation marked the final layer of protection for Coventry, providing shelter for both soldiers and women from the Auxiliary Territorial Service. As the war progressed, the site took on new roles, transforming into a prisoner of war camp first for Italian and then for German captives. Although the battery now sits on private farmland, you can catch a decent view of it from the nearby footpath.

Not a hint but here's some History you might find interesting. 😁 The Cat street art in Leamington Spa is a notable mural created by the street artist Much Rock. The mural is located on the side of a building on Warwick Street, in the town center of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

The Cat mural was created in 2017 and quickly became a popular attraction in Leamington Spa, drawing visitors and locals alike to the area. The Cat mural is a large-scale artwork that depicts a cartoon-style cat with a mischievous expression on its face. The cat is painted in bright, bold colors, and its features are highly stylized and exaggerated. The mural is situated on a brick wall, which provides a textured background for the artwork and helps it to stand out. The mural was commissioned by the Leamington Underground Cinema, a local arts organization that promotes underground and alternative cinema.

Since its creation, the Cat mural has become a popular photo spot for visitors to Leamington Spa, and it has also helped to raise the profile of street art in the town. The mural has been well-received by locals, and it has been credited with adding to the cultural vibrancy of the area. The Cat mural is just one of many street art works that can be found in Leamington Spa and the surrounding area, and it is a testament to the creativity and talent of Much Rock and other street artists who are pushing the boundaries of art and expression in public spaces.

Easy, if slightly bumpy, bridleway. Slightly uphill East to West, but Red Lion at Hunningham worth a stop - even if only to fill water bottle during lock-down.

Bridleway that starts on a private lane then a gravel track through the woods followed by open fields before returning back onto quiet country roads between Eathorpe and Wappenbury.
