List of ecclesiastical works by Edward Blore

Edward Blore (1787–1879) was an English antiquarian, artist, and architect.
 He was born in Derby, and was trained by his father, Thomas, who was an antiquarian and a topographer.
 Edward became skilled at drawing accurate and detailed architectural illustrations.
 His commissions included drawings of Peterborough, Durham, and Winchester Cathedrals. His drawings of Althorp brought him to the attention of Earl Spencer, who was influential in introducing him to other wealthy and influential patrons.
 After his father died in 1818, Blore started to prepare architectural designs for new buildings.
 The first of these was for the enlargement of Sir Walter Scott's Abbotsford House.
 Although this was not accepted, it led to the acceptance of his design for Corehouse, a large country house in Lanarkshire, Scotland, for the judge George Cranstoun.
 More commissions for country houses followed.
 Blore then became involved with the Church Commissioners, designing, with others, a series of churches that have become to be known as Commissioners' churches, the first of these being St George's Church in Battersea, London.
Winterfold House is one of the few private country properties to be designed by London architect Edward Blakeway I'Anson, F.R.I.B.A., M.A. Cantab of St Laurence Pountney Hill, E.C.
 He was the elder son of Edward I'Anson JP, born in London and educated at Cheltenham College and Cambridge University.
 He followed his father's profession and was architect and surveyor to St Bartholomew's Hospital in London.
 The Architect’s practice continued by him was one of the oldest established in the country, and many of the finest buildings in the City of London including the new Corn Exchange in Mark Lane are of his design.
 He was Master of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors in 1908.
 In partnership with his father Edward I'Anson they had earlier made a successful major refurbishment to Fetcham Park House Surrey.
Victoria "Vicki" Vann (born Victoria Araceli Denise Vann Turnbough, July 14, 1980) is an American country music artist, model and actress.
 Her father was born in Mississippi and was one of the original founding members of the Grammy Award Winning Gospel Group, Mighty Clouds of Joy.
 Her mother, whose family origin is of Native American and German descent worked as a print model for print ads as well as television.
 Vicki Vann is often referred to as the Cinderella of country music and was chosen to appear as a featured artist in a Country Music Television documentary called "Waiting in the Wings."

Erik Thorvaldsson (Old Norse: "Eiríkr Þorvaldsson" ; 950 – c. 1003), known as Erik the Red (Old Norse: "Eiríkr hinn rauði" ) was a Norwegian Viking, remembered in medieval and Icelandic saga sources as having founded the first Norse settlement in Greenland.
 The Icelandic tradition indicates that he was born in the Jæren district of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Þorvald Ásvaldsson, he therefore also appears, patronymically, as Erik Thorvaldsson ("Eiríkr Þorvaldsson").
 The appellation "the Red" most likely refers to his hair color and the color of his beard.
 Leif Erikson, the famous Icelandic explorer, was Erik's son.
Thorvald Eiriksson had the first contact with the native population which would come to be known as the "skrælings".
 After capturing and killing eight of the natives, they were attacked at their beached ships, which they defended:

Moonshine Kate (born Rosa Lee Carson, October 10, 1909, Atlanta, Georgia - 1992, Bainbridge, Georgia) was an American country and folk guitarist and banjo player who is best known for recording with her father Fiddlin' John Carson and his band, the Virginia Reelers.

Remy P. Presas, Jr. (born November 11, 1963) is the eldest son of the late Remy Presas, founder of the Filipino martial art of Modern Arnis, and Rosemary Pascual Presas.
 Beginning from a young age, he studied Modern Arnis with his father and, when his father was forced to flee the country, his father's students.
 Although he saw little of his father during the years from 1974 until the senior Remy Presas' death in 2001, his father asked him during their August 2001 meeting to help preserve and spread the art he had created.
 Redoubling his training under Filipino masters of the art, he founded his own Modern Arnis organization, Modern Arnis Remy P. Presas International Organization (MARPPIO), with the help of his siblings, Demetrio and Mary Ann Presas.
 All three are known by the title "Punong Guro", and Remy P. Presas is often affectionately referred to as "Remy Jr." in Modern Arnis circles.
