My family is used to my habit of standing in fields, by rivers, and 'bumps' (or as I call them, burial mounds!) but to be inside a church that survives from the period was really rather special.Annie Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028691371545306450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-42774599670133944312017-07-08T06:16:05.824-07:002017-07-08T06:16:05.824-07:00Its is always wonderful to find Anglo-Saxon buildi...Its is always wonderful to find Anglo-Saxon buildings isn't it?
