An amazing Norman church body from the 12th century, with an even more amazing Saxon tower, dated 970AD. I used to go to school in Daventry, only a short distance away from here, and visited on several occasions – this visit marked the 40th anniversary of those school trips !

An abstract photograph of the treeline at a local landmark that is steeped in history. The hilltop looks down on the site of the Battle of Watling Street (AD60 or AD61). Just below the treeline is where the Roman troops led by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus waited to battle the Iceni led by Boudica. Although outnumbered 20:1 the Romans defeated the British and secured their grip on the land for another 400 years. The hills original old english name of Headred’s Hill comes from the name of a local landowner Heardred or, as he is better known, Hereward the Wake the reputed son of Leofric, Earl of Mercia and his wife Lady Godiva. The spelling has become corrupted over the years and the site is now a country park known as Hartshill Hayes. In the 1600’s George Fox who is commonly considered the founder of the Religious Society of Friends known as the Quakers was born in the valley below the hill and for a short time was a shepherd tending his flock in the fields around the hill.

Just wanted you to see what the roof struts of a Saxon church look like. Remember this was built in 600 AD not much by way of tools etc., just hard graft.

This is Colchester’s only standing Saxon building. Built around 1000, it features triangle arches, basket windows and reused Roman bricks – they are the reddish ones on the corners of the tower. / I have tried to do it justice with the selective colouring. I am still unsure, so thought I’d post and see what you people with more experience think.

This last weekend I managed to get a fair bit of photography done. On Saturday I headed over to Spalding and took some photographs while watching the Spalding Flower Parade. Getting a good position to actually see the parade itself, let alone photograph it, was tricky. As it was I ended up generally photographing everything that was going on around me. On Sunday I headed down to Flag Fen to see (and photograph) their Romans vs Saxons themed weekend. That was a fantastic day out. The stalls, displays and talks were interesting enough but the show battle towards the end of the day was excellent. If you ever get the chance to get to Flag Fen for such an event, do so, well worth the money.

The church of St Materiana (or Madryn) on the cliffs at Tintagel, North Cornwall. It has remained essentially unchanged since it was rebuilt in the 12th century, apart from the addition of the tower in the 15th century. This famous church has always been an important landmark for sailors heading up or down the western coasts – it was already more than 500 years old when the Normans arrived in 1066. Taken at sunset on a June evening. / Pentax K 10D, 1/3 sec, f 4, ISO 400. Zoom lens set at 58 mm.

This ceiling was orginally of Norman design. It represents Heaven, it’s golden decoration reflects “within sight, but not within reach.” Around the edge are the words of Jesus to Saint Peter declaring him “the rock on which I shall build my church” and giving him the keys to the kingdom of heaven. The symbol of Saint Peter (crossed keys) and the words “Alleluia and Laus deo” (praise to God) form the main part of the roofs decoration. After the fire of 1984, the result of arson, the chancel roof was fully restored to copy the Victorian roof that was destroyed. It was rebuilt without nails, and painstakingly repainted with the original colours. The gold adornment used over 4,000 sheets of gold leaf.

The architecture of the church is Norman, Saxon, Victorian, and probably some Viking too!
