FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

St Melangell's Church is a Grade I listed medieval building in the former
village of Pennant Melangell, in the Tanat Valley, Powys, Wales. Built over a
Bronze Age burial ground, the church was founded around the 8th century to
commemorate the reputed grave of Melangell, a hermit and abbess who founded a
convent and sanctuary in the area. The current church was built in the 12th
century and has been renovated several times, including major restoration work
in the 19th and 20th centuries. Archaeological excavation in the 20th century
uncovered prehistoric and early medieval activity. The church contains the
reconstructed shrine to Melangell, considered the oldest surviving Romanesque
shrine in northern Europe and which was a major pilgrimage site in medieval
Wales. The interior of the church holds a 15th-century rood screen depicting
Melangell's legend, two 14th-century effigies, paintings, and liturgical
fittings. (Full article...)

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Painting of the Battle of the Nile by Thomas Whitcombe

The order of battle at the Battle of the Nile, fought from 1 to 3 August 1798,
consisted of 15 British ships and at least 17 French ships. The Battle of the
Nile took place in Aboukir Bay, near the mouth of the Nile on the Mediterranean
coast of Egypt, and pitted a fleet of the Royal Navy against a fleet of the
French Navy. The battle was the climax of a three-month campaign in the
Mediterranean during which a large French convoy under General Napoleon
Bonaparte had sailed from Toulon to Alexandria via Malta. Despite close pursuit
by a British fleet under Sir Horatio Nelson, the French were able to reach
Alexandria unscathed and successfully land an army, which Bonaparte led inland.
Nelson reached the Egyptian coast on 1 August and discovered the French fleet at
14:00. Advancing during the afternoon, his ships entered the bay at 18:20 and
attacked the French directly. The French fleet was almost totally destroyed,
which reversed the strategic situation in the Mediterranean, giving the Royal
Navy control of the sea which it retained until the end of the Napoleonic Wars
in 1815. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

John C. Dancy (1857–1920) was an American politician, journalist, and educator.
For many years he was the editor of African Methodist Episcopal newspapers Star
of Zion and then Zion Quarterly. In 1897 he was appointed collector of customs
at Wilmington, North Carolina, but was chased out of town in the Wilmington
massacre of 1898, in part for his activity in the National Afro-American Council
which he helped found and of which he was an officer. He then moved to
Washington, D.C., where he served as recorder of deeds from 1901 to 1910. His
political appointments came in part as a result of the influence of his ally,
Booker T. Washington.
