What I Do

I mainly do short descriptions but I am a big article creator and I am creating articles for every church in Leicestershire, now that I have finished doing every church in Rutland. See my Pages I've Created section. I'm also adding the name origin of places in Leicestershire. I sometimes fix typos and grammar mistakes if I see one. I also revert vandalism if I see it.

Pictures of the Day

Picture of the day

Vertumnus is a 1591 oil painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, depicting Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, as Vertumnus, the Roman god of changing seasons, gardens, fruit trees, and plant growth. Rudolf's portrait is composed of fruits, vegetables and flowers, and combines visual humour with political allegory, presenting him as a ruler possessing harmony with and power over nature. Seized by Swedish forces after the Thirty Years' War, the painting is now held at Skokloster Castle in Sweden.Painting credit: Giuseppe Arcimboldo
