Festive Times, L3529
Annual Christmas Ornament 2013
Ingatestone, Essex
Our latest Christmas Hanging Ornament has been inspired by the entrance bay of the gatehouse to Ingatestone Hall, built in the sixteenth century by Sir William Petre, a wealthy Devon tanner and courtier to Henry VIII, who purchased the estate from Barking Abbey during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Although the house was built in the mid-sixteenth century, it was in the eighteenth century that the Ninth Lord Petre made some alterations, and it is at this point that the unusually ornate one-handed clock first appeared, with the French inscription
'Sans Dieu Rien', meaning: 'Without God Nothing'.
With its colourful red brickwork, semi-elliptical archway, jettied upper storey, and pyramidal roof of handmade red clay tiles, topped with clock tower and bell turret, it is the perfect addition to our collection of ornaments, so why not celebrate 'festive times' by placing a fairylight on your tree behind the archway to really capture the light!

2012 Annual Christmas Ornament
Oxford , Middle England
Height: 6.5cm Length: 6.5cm
Located on Catte Street, close to the famous Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Square, Oxford's Hertford College was formed by an Act of Parliament in 1874 - which saw the amalgamation of two medieval halls, Hart Hall (founded 1282) and Magdalen Hall (founded 1448) - thanks to a bequest by Sir Thomas Baring (of Barings Bank fame). To celebrate, the eminent Oxford architect, Thomas Graham Jackson, was commissioned to design a number of new architectural features for the college, including: the New College Chapel, 'The Bridge of Sighs' (Oxford's world-famous arched bridge over New College Lane linking the two parts of the college) and this magnificent spiral staircase to the Dining Hall.

Holy Post, Lilliput Lane 2010 Christmas Ornament
Snelston, Derbyshire
Christmas is a time for sharing, of sending cards and greetings to friends far and wide, but it is also a time to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas, as the time to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. That's what makes this delightful little Christmas ornament with a post box near the parish church the perfect piece to adorn any festive display - as it symbolises both messages.
Our little church has been inspired by the tower of Snelston's Parish Church of St Peter, which dates back to the early fifteenth century. The rest of the church has seen many alterations over the centuries, most notably in 1825 and 1907 when major alterations were undertaken by Hodgson Fowler, but the tower stands as a proud testament to its ancient construction.
Holy Post Annual 2010 Christmas Ornament
Both of the 2010 Christmas Annual pieces come from Snelston, making them the perfect pairing for your collection.
