The rebirth of an English country house : St Giles House
The 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, 39-year-old Nicholas Ashley-Cooper, invites the reader into the house that his family has called home since the fifteenth century. In recent years, his award-winning restoration has brought the house back to life, transforming exquisite spaces that honour the past while being suited to twenty-first-century living. English country-house splendour, through the hands of some of the world's top artisans and craftspeople, returns to the house in the form of re-created wallpapers, customized paints, revived furniture from the Georgian and Victorian periods, reworked antique Brussels tapestries, restored plasterwork and textiles, and a complete overhaul of the landscape, with its sunken garden, woodlands, avenue of beeches, lake, and shell-encrusted grotto. With stories of noteworthy architecture, beautiful interiors, and centuries of a single family's involvement in British and world history, this book will appeal to devotees of country living, the aristocratic life, historic houses, and English interior design.

‘And Who Is My Parishioner?’ Residency, Human Rights and the Right to Burial in the Parish Churchyard
When asked by an expert in the law, ‘And who is my neighbour?’, Jesus answered with the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). This was a radically inclusive answer: your neighbour could be anyone. By contrast, a priest who asks an ecclesiastical lawyer ‘and who is my parishioner?’ may be given a far less clear or satisfying answer.

I would like you to know I voted against the motions discriminating against some people and when the result was announced, I had my dissent recorded. I will work for a church which proclaims God's love for people, anyone, everyone.

Boris axes Ken's partner in purge of City Hall 'wimmin'
Others whose jobs were deleted were Mr [Ken Livingstone]'s Left-wing cultural and events adviser, Jude Woodward, his planning chief Eleanor Young and his \"senior policy adviser on the creative industries\" Emma St Giles. Tories had dubbed the coterie of senior women around Mr Livingstone \"Ken's wimmin\", a reference to the fact that many of them were Labour supporters and seen as having formed close personal relationships with the former Mayor. Ms [Marjoram], 58, was viewed suspiciously by Tories because she stood as a Labour candidate for Parliament in Finchley. One insider said the new Mayor thought the post of \"women's adviser\" was a \"throwback to the Eighties GLC\".
