Arts & Crafts 1

I had occasion last week to seek shelter from the heat and noise of Sloane Square in the church of the Holy Trinity, a place we appear to have visited a couple of times in 2010 and not been back since. See reference 1.

Shelter there certainly was, but I was a little disappointed in the church itself. Perhaps the light was wrong to bring out the best in it, particularly in the usually splendid east window. Perhaps I am tiring of arts and crafts.

But I did notice what I took to be pitch pine parquet, the same stuff as we have at home in Epsom, probably cleaned up in the not too distant past. With the result that one could see what appeared to be the pitch in which the blocks had been set. In Epsom the form is that the blocks are set on the pitch, whereas here they seemed to be set in the pitch, with say getting on for an eighth of an inch of the stuff between neighbouring blocks. Will they start to rock gently if the heat wave continues?
