Several of FM’s sketches and watercolours are displayed at the fabulous Mendelssohn Haus in Leipzig, which I visited last month. Highly recommended!

Felix Mendelssohn's sketch of the Edinburgh skyline on his way down from Arthur's Seat in July 1829...the visit that sowed the seeds of his Scottish Symphony No. 3. So many recordings now...hear the best of them compared in Building a Library at 3pm @BBCRadio3 ...plus (see below)

The Green Party have failed to take control of Haringey Council and remain on 28 seats

The two vacant seats went opposite ways - Greens gained Woodside from the Labour, while Labour gained Northumberland Park from the Greens, leaving the seat totals the same as before

In May, the Woodside margin was 3 votes, it's now 55

The Northumberland Park margin was 113, it's now 38

Imagine carrying the weight of a city… This is the case for the 700-year-old Grade 1 listed church of St. John on the Wall, #Bristol. Without intervention, this special place could be lost.

@DuncanHegan1 I think +Newcastle is measured and accurate in her analysis here. I presume you’ve already seen it.

[The Church of England @churchofengland]

This morning, the Bishop of Newcastle spoke in the House of Lords, as the final day of debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill began.

Watch as she shares her thoughts on the process so far.

@SimoninSuffolk Aha. Thanks for that clear explanation. The new tome sounds interesting.

[Steven Isserlis @StevenIsserlis]

Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus (Wolfgang Amadeus to us) Mozart b otd 1756. His mastery of music remains astonishing, the perfection of his expression breathtaking, his sense of beauty unparallelled. For interpreters, the task is - largely - not to get in the way!

Happy Birthday 270 dear Mozart birthday 🎉 https://t.co/KoFAnmEVWv

@SlapstickFest Yes, I won a quiz connected to the event and received a box set of L&H films signed by both @TVSanjeev and Jean!

'Mary said, 'Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.''
Luke 1: 38

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Glance up in the Abbey and you'll see this censing angel on a wall high above Poets' Corner. Carved in the 1250s, it was originally richly coloured and gilded and is among the most important examples of English sculpture of its time.

Censing angels - depicted holding an incense burner - were a popular feature in medieval church architecture.

This merits an annual outing!

At this point, just reroute the Arno through the Franchi and wash it completely clean like the Augean stables.

On this 330th anniversary I shall listen to a lot of Purcell (tbh I do anyway!). Just played the Sixteen’s great recording of The Indian Queen; maybe I’ll dust down their Fairy Queen this afternoon!

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Musician Henry Purcell died #onthisday in 1695.

He served as the Abbey's organist for 16 years and composed music for State occasions including the coronations of James II in 1685 and William and Mary in 1689. The music he wrote for Mary II's burial in 1695 was used at his own funeral a year later.

He is buried in the Abbey and remembered with a memorial tablet in Poets' Corner.

@DuncanHegan1 Though Lords of Appeal in Ordinary were life peers created under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876, of course!
