St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it.

🌞🏛️🌸 Hollyhocks and heritage this weekend at Ilkley Manor House - summer bringing history into bloom.
This week I'm wandering through hidden medieval York - from the ancient timbers of St. William's College to the city's remarkable snickelways. Come and join me in the latest Genius Loci Digest. 👉 www.digest.andymarsh...

Divine prospect: one of my favourite views of Wells Cathedral from the moat of the Bishop's Palace.
🤔It's a niche thing: If you ❤️ history, architecture and heritage like here at All Saints', Billesley, you might like my Genius Loci Digest - an architectural photographer’s camper-van-camino through Britain - posted weekly. Subscribe for free: http://digest.andyma...
How lovely is this church? Some places carry the whispers of people long after they are gone. All Saints', Billesley, Warwickshire once stood at the heart of a medieval village. Today, the village is gone and it stands alone in a copse.

There are places that never fail to amaze me no matter how many times I visit. The door at St. Mary and St. David, Kilpeck, Herefordshire is almost 900 years old and displays the tree of life, beakheads and beasts. The jambs are alive with twisted serpents and warriors.

One of my fave things in York Minster: a medieval wren stalking a spider. It reminds me that history isn't only kings and battles. Someone, centuries ago, found joy in the same things we still notice today. It's a reminder of how much we have in common over our differences.
Every so often my work takes me somewhere few people get to see. This hidden medieval room in York became the starting point for a journey through the city’s snickelways - and a search for the spirit of place. www.digest.andymarsh...

Only York would think nothing of framing a post box with 900-year-old Romanesque chevrons. Unless you know any different?

The spirit of place is often difficult to define in a photograph. For me, this comes close. First light streaming through York Minster's Great East Window. One of those fleeting moments that has stayed with me ever since I pressed the shutter button.
And re-used Roman brick as this brick with the stamp of the Roman 7th Cohort - 1700 yrs old. In York walls.

Few cities are still embraced by their medieval walls quite like York. In the bottom left stands the 14th-century Monk Bar, built on the site of the Roman "porta decumana". Walk through the city today and, in many places, you're still following streets first laid out by Romans.
What if beauty isn't simply a matter of taste, but a glimpse of something fundamental? An encounter at Lastingham led me from photography and art to Paul Dirac, quantum mechanics, and the ancient idea of aletheia - an unveiling of hidden relationships. 👉 www.digest.andymarsh...
Gabled delight at Ogleforth in York. This is what happens when you cover a medieval timber framed building in glue and roll it through a brick factory. #HappyFriday

✨ Sometimes the photograph is simply a reward for waiting. St. Mary's, Iffley has one of the finest Romanesque façades in England. Built and carved in the mid-12th century, its extraordinary detail only came alive when the morning sun finally reached the stone. #ThrowbackThursday
🤔Not for everyone, but If you ❤️ places like Great Coxwell barn, and you're comforted by continuity, you might like my Genius Loci Digest. A photographer's camper-van-camino through the historic gems of the British Isles. Posted weekly. http://digest.andyma...
Great Coxwell barn in Oxfordshire was built in 1292. Dendrochronology has shown that some of its timbers were felled in 1256, whilst the majority were felled in the winter of 1291. It was part of a Cistercian abbey founded by King John. I forgot all that when I first saw inside - jaw dropping..
