A couple of view of the (defaced) Seven Sacrament font in St Luke's Chapel, Norwich Cathedral. This was originally situated in the parish church of St Mary in the Marsh, in the cathedral precinct, prior to closure in 1560 #norwich #norwichcathedral #font #medieval #history #heritage #architecture
A couple of photos taken during a recent visit to the Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall, Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex. Built using recycled materials from the Roman Othona fort, this chapel was a Celtic missionary foundation dating from 654 CE by St Cedd #heritage #chapels #anglosaxon #history #journeys

Edgefield, St Peter & St Paul, north Norfolk: relocated from its previous site in 1883. This was a combination of new build and recycle of the old church materials nearer to the centre of the village #norfolk #churches #victorian #history #heritage #architecture #blackandwhitephotography

Laying on my back, looking up at the canopy in Bacton Woods, north Norfolk, today... nasal breathing slow and deep, feeling the contact with the earth. Above me, a fine silk-spun spider's web and the songs of unseen birds... a good place to be still a-while #forestbathing #mindfulness #nurture
