Torphichen Preceptory in the village of Torphichen, West Lothian, Scotland is an unusual remnant of a little known corner of Scottish history. It comprises the tower and the two transepts of the church associated with the Preceptory of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The Order maintained just two such establishments in Britain, the other being in London. Torphichen is therefore the sole Scottish link with an Order whose name resonates through history: from its formation in the Crusades to its occupation of Malta in the face of Turkish siege in 1565, and beyond. The Order of St John of Jerusalem was suppressed in Scotland after the Reformation in 1560, but was reconstituted here.

St. John Bosco, pray for us.

The three magnificent buildings in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence, Italy. On the left, the Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of St. John) - begun in 1296 and completed in 1436. On the right, the Campanile di Giotto (Giotto’s Bell Tower) - begun in 1334 and completed in 1359. In the centre, the cathedral church, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo) - begun in 1059 and completed in 1128. The exterior walls of all three buildings are faced in alternate vertical and horizontal bands of polychrome marble from Carrara (white), Prato (green), Siena (red), Lavenza and a few other places.

St John's Moordown Number of views as of 13th March 2018 = 500. St John's Church, Moordown, Bournemouth, Dorset. The building of the church began in 1873 and it was completed ready for consecration on April 14th 1874. The architect was G.E.Street, who was well known for his Church designs in Victorian times. The last structural addition was the tower, added in 1923. It houses eight fixed bells, cast at a cost of £301. Unusually, the orientation of the church is north-south, rather than east-west, with the tower at the southern end. Date: 10th April 2008. Click here to see another of Bournemouth's churches

St John's, Spetisbury Number of views as of 19th January 2017 = 500. Regular visitors to my portfolio will know that I enjoy taking pictures of local (and not so local) churches. The county of Dorset in the south of England has a wealth of them. The church of St John the Baptist, in the village of Spetisbury (on the A350 Poole to Blandford road) is another fine example. Parts of the church, including the tower (which contains 6 bells) date from Norman times, though much of the church was rebuilt in the 1850s. Date: 17th October 2010.
