Rutland: Teddy’s Cottage – Market Overton! (27.10.2025)

The above is extracted from the linked (historical) articled presented at the top of this article. I believe this information refers to the row of cottages – one of which – we are currently staying within for five-days. This is our current Research Headquarters for this visit (25.10.2025-30.10.2025) – where we will be travelling to and from Duddington (and the surrounding areas). In the information pack provided in the property – it states the house dates from the 17th century (1600s). It possesses two floor, two bedrooms, a downstairs living-room, dining-room, kitchen, and foyer. Much of the downstairs flooring is flagstone – with the floor levels from one room to the next being uneven (on different levels). Apparently, this has something to do with the age of the building.

17th Century Safe - Old Wooden Safe - Built In2o Bedroom Wall!

Market Overton: 17th Century Wooden Safe – Built into Bedroom Wall! (26.10.2025)

Anyway, I digress. This morning, and for the first-time in decades, I heard a local Parish Church ring the church-bells – summoning the faithful to worship on this crisp Sunday-morning! I am literally sat in the epicentre of history! Probably far more so than usual. As you can see above – in the bedroom I am frequenting – there is a wooden safe built into the wall. The wood does not seem that secure to me – and I know I could easily place my fist through the door – it seems that thin (not that I would do such a thing). Years ago (in Hong Kong) when I had to punch objects whilst holding an egg in the palm (which had to remain “unbroken”) – the objects I had to hit were far more “stout” than this structure. I cannot not discern any writing on the casing of the safe – but such a craftsman’s signature might be immediately adjacent to the inner wall structure.

German Jew - Shimon Avi Zuckerman - Charged with IDF War Crimes in Gaza!

Berlin: German-Jew – Shimon Avi Zuckerman – Accused of IDF War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity! (26.10.2025)

The complaint cites verified evidence, including social media posts by Zuckerman, showing him celebrating the demolition of civilian infrastructure. According to the filing, Zuckerman was identified in multiple videos and posts, which frequently showed graphic images of destruction, accompanied by celebratory actions like smoking shisha, cheering with fellow soldiers, or posing for photos before and after explosions.

Jerusalem: Orthodox Patriarch Pens Open Letter – Blaming Israeli “Genecide” on US Arms Sales! (26.5.2025)

“You fed us with speeches about peace, but you did not do anything for the sake of peace, no, you ignored Palestinian rights and proofs, and when the Palestinians lived their new burden during the two years of conquered and affected Gaza, you supported their oppressors who with your weapons killed many Palestinians, making you partners in this crime committed against our people.”

Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

The Emei Mountain stone on Mount Rigi

Chinese Stone from Mount Emei Found in Switzerland! (25.10.2025)

According to reports, on Sept. 29, 2014, a 2.6-metric-ton conglomerate rock from Mount Rigi was installed at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. In return, on July 31, 2015, an 8-metric-ton basalt rock from Mount Emei was set up at Rigi’s summit, Rigi Kulm.

According to the Leshan municipal government website, Emei and Rigi officially became sister mountains in 2009. The two sides agreed to exchange rocks to be placed at both summits as symbols of friendship.

The Mount Emei stone is a basalt rock formed around 260 million years ago. It is 2.6 meters tall, 1.5 metres wide, 1.5 metres thick at its deepest point, and weighs about 8.05 metric tons. (Gong Weiwei)
