For #ThickTrunkTuesday (and ideal for BlueSky) here's one of my favourite #trees, the Cedar of Lebanon that sits on the bank above Horse Pond in the subject of my local #OnePlaceStudy: Fawsley in #Northamptonshire. Photographed in late November 2021. Might start a little TTT thread with this... 🌿

Photo of a view across a small lake, with a grassy bank on the far side on which sits a majestic Cedar of Lebanon - a coniferous, evergreen tree with spreading branches. Other, smaller trees and bushes, some with brown leaves and some with none as Autumn turns into Winter, can be seen on either side of the Cedar. Above, there is a blue sky. Sky and trees are reflected on the surface of the water, which appears deep blue in colour as a result.

One more #Swan 🦢 (OK, I admit he or she doesn't exactly fill the frame). On Horse Pond, at Fawsley, my local #OnePlaceStudy parish, in April 2024. Because it has been a while since I have used the #SwanPlaceStudy hashtag. 😄 #BirdOfTheDay #Scape #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography

Photo looking across a small lake. on the far side of which is a grassy bank with a few shrubs and trees and , standing alone in the middle, a large and majestic Cedar of Lebanon. There are more trees further away in the distance. The lakeside trees and the blue sky above are reflected in the water of the lake, and where the trunk of the Cedar tree is reflected there is a Mute Swan, swimming from left to right (and also reflected in the water).

Nunney was once part of the vast estate of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and 3rd Earl of Essex (1276-1322), who fought at the battle of Bannockburn. This was before Nunney Castle was even built. He came to sticky end at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire. 🧵 1/7 #skystorians 🗃️ #OnePlaceStudy

Researching Nunney in Somerset’s first known parson, Thomas de Tornai. He was appointed in 1178 by Bishop of Bath Reginald fitz Jocelin, who was described by an angry Thomas Becket as "that offspring of fornication". Can’t argue with that. #OnePlaceStudy #medievalsky #history #skystorians 🗃️

Many deaths at sea in my #OnePlaceStudy as it’s in the island of #Hoy #Orkney and men often joined the Merchant Navy. Today found the death of Isabella Gray (1844-1901), missing presumed drowned from the SS Cambroman, where she was a stewardess, in the North Atlantic.1/3

For #OnePlaceWednesday, I would like to mention my #OnePlaceStudy of Winterswijk, the Netherlands. A place where nobody new ever settled, where serfdom continued until 1795, and whence 1/3 of the population emigrated to the US in 1845-1880. I chose this emigration as the subject for my dissertation.

August is here, so tell us about your #OnePlaceLabourers! You could look at the lives or tell the stories of individual labourers, or discuss labourers in general. What proportion of those employed in your #OnePlaceStudy were labourers, and how did that change across census years? #OnePlaceWednesday

August is nearly upon us, and with it comes a new blogging prompt for #OnePlaceStudies! Who were your #OnePlaceLabourers, what were their daily lives like, and how did those lives change with the seasons and over time? #OnePlaceWednesday

Blogging and Social Media Prompt, Aug 2026: #OnePlaceLabourers.

I have just discovered the AncestorPress AP One-Name Studies Wordpress plugin for #OneNameStudies – has anybody out there used it? It is interesting to note the final item in the FAQ for this product, which says that a #OnePlaceStudy plugin is on AP’s ‘roadmap.’ #OnePlaceWednesday
