A weekend of mediaeval painted churches 🖌️ Chaldon in Surrey, and Hardham, Coombes and Clayton in Sussex
Some belated snaps from our stint at the Cerne Abbey dig a few weeks ago- hot but rewarding work!
Church- and ancient-tree-crawling in Suffolk today. First pic is the Queen's Oak at Huntingfield, from under whose boughs Elizabeth I supposedly shot an unfortunate deer.
Chuffed to get a nationally-scarce Goat Moth (first pic) on our new moth trap's first outing! What a beauty.
Some belated snaps from a fantastic 'ecotour' of the @greatfen.org.uk a couple of weeks back. Inspiring to see all the great work being done by @wildlifebcn.org!
Keeping cool yesterday in the Saxon crypt at St Wystan's, Repton—described by John Betjeman as "holy air encased in stone".
Memorial to Blanche Parry, with Elizabeth I as Gloriana, at St Faith's in Bacton, Herefs.
The tiny church of St David at Rhulen, in the wilds of the Radnorshire hills.
Sharing a few highlights from an Easter weekend in Herefordshire and Powys. First: Llanelieu (nr Talgarth), with its 14th century rood screen painted red with ox-blood.
Detail from the Thomas Denny window in St Peter's church at Stutton, Suffolk
Just back from a fantastic week of archaeology, churches and hiking in Sardinia 💚
Happy New Year to all! Pictures taken at Dersingham Bog in Norfolk today.
P.S. Enjoyed ringing this peal for Christmas last weekend- my first of 7 surprise 🥳🔔
