| 2:21p | Kennington's Lawrence effigy at Wareham  http://shadowofthecrescent.blogspot.c /.../ "Then Baker said he had asked T.E. once what his idea was for a monument to himself," Kennington recalled, "and his reply - "The largest mountain in Arabia carved into a likeness of himself!" This amused Sir Ronald Storrs who interjected, "What a fine target for the Arabs - they'd get his nose first shot." /.../ It is not clear who first suggested the tiny parish church of St. Martin's-on-the-walls, Wareham in Dorset, but when seen today Kennington's effigy rests in the most wonderful example of a 1000 years old Anglo-Saxon church, accessible to all and in perfect harmony with its surroundings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Ma выбрали именно Уэрем, судя по всему, потому что недалеко от этого городка Лоуренс погиб в автокатастрофе |
