Kimbolton Autumn. It's copper metallic paint, and coarse-grained gel. It seems such a long time ag, and also just yesterday. Time is weird. Can I go back, please? #theferrisfiles #Kimbolton #schooldays #artforsale

Today's rather late #SaintsonSaturday takes us to #Kimbolton Church in #Cambridgeshire for this (slightly defaced) and unusually armoured #StEdmund complete with the arrows of his martyrdom... The paintings probably date from 15th century

Kimbolton Castle, Catherine of Aragon’s last residence. At first glance, it looks like an 18thC mansion, but inside the bones of the earlier house survive. The room with green wallpaper believed to be room in which Catherine died Jan 1536

Kimbolton castle, where I went to school Thank you, then government for paying my fees. My father thnk it made me gay, as it was just boys back then. It made me an intellectual instead! #theferrisfiles #zentangles #drawing #kimbolton #thankateacher

One of my photos, cropped. Must have been up early. Weather: will it brighten up later? Lodger still not home; was expecting him yester. What advice would you give current students? OKs asked. Give me a chance. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #Kimbolton #school #education #frustration

The first page in the Kim sketchbook. I was told by tutors never to try to combine ink and oil pastel. Being a stroppy, I went right ahead and did it, and continue to do it. Physical age, 67; mental age, 14. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #Kimbolton #mixedmedia #nostalgia

One Hundred Suns. Another Kimbolton pic; the background a fragment of a painting ripped by an alcholic cotenant. Could remake the image, but why would I. Che sara sara. Magpie outside on one of the trees. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #kimbolton #school #nostalgia #frustration

#saintsonSaturday a wood panel painting of #StGeorge in dragon killing action. #Kimbolton Church

Moonrise. Mixed media on paper. £125, but you'll have to collect. No-one will. Kimbolton was where I went to school. It shaped me. University had no effect. #theferrisfiles #artforsale #kimbolton #kimboltoncastle #kimboltonschool #frustration

Kimbolton Castle. A later facelift hides the fact that much of the Tudor house remains. Catherine of Aragon died here #OTD in 1536. I took these photos during a visit all the way back in 2016 #kimbolton #catherineofaragon #henryviii #Tudor

The headmasters’ study at Kimbolton Castle. Reputedly the room in which Catherine of Aragon died #OTD in 1536. Kimbolton is much altered, but the bones of the Tudor house lie beneath its later facade #kimbolton #catherineofaragon #henryviii #tudor
