STANDTUNE is one of the exhibits in the Compton Verney Sculpture in the Park Exhibition. "Standtune is a sculpture developed at the Gotland Museum in Visby, a small island off the coast of Sweden. Standtune is a local and ancient fencing technique developed for defence purposes in Sweden. Repurposing this technique for this sculpture, Serapinas questions who has the power to decide on our common cultural heritage and what should be in a museum’s collection and exhibition? Which objects should stay on one or the other side of the “fence” and thus border?" Source: https://www.comptonverney.org.uk/whats-on/sculpture-in-the-park/

The Peyto Gateway on the north side of St Giles Church, Chesterton, Warwickshire, England, used by the Peyto Family when their manor house was there. Gateway. Probably 1630's. For Sir Edward Peyto and copy of a design by Inigo Jones. English bond red brick with moulded, cut and rubbed brick. Classical style. Round arch with keyblock, pilasters, entablature and pediment. Pilasters, wall, and arch have intermittent rustication. It is likely that this gateway was built at about the same time as Chesterton Windmill (q.v.). It is a close copy, at about three-quarters scale, of one of the two churchyard gateways flanking Jones' St Paul, Covent Garden, of 1631, see Vitruvius Britannicus (ii, 1717, pl 21-2).
