Samson Destroys the Philistine by Tony Via Flickr: Samson "man of the sun") was the last of the judges of the ancient Israelites mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible (chapters 13 to 16) and one of the last of the leaders who "judged" Israel before the institution of the monarchy. He is sometimes considered to be an Israelite version of the popular Middle Eastern Heracles figure.

Wimpole Hall by Tony Via Flickr: Front Entrance Sited close to the great Roman road, Ermine Street, Wimpole was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. At that time there was a moated manor house set in a small 81 hectares (200 acres) deer-park. Situated to the north and south of this were three medieval villages: Bennall End, Thresham End and Green End. the "new" house that was completed in 1650 by the politician Thomas Chicheley.
