✨Monday Inspiration:
The Saxon baptistry at St. Peter, Barton-upon-Humber might be even older than the C10th tower. Both were built (in part) with Roman stone transported by river from Yorkshire. Many burials beneath are older than the church.

Love the personality behind these buildings in Ruthin in the gorgeous Vale of Clwyd. They present themselves like the principal characters in a Disney escapade. Porch is late C17th.

It is quite a roof - such a long rafter length - can't believe we're discussing rafter length, Rebecca at this time in the morning 😆

👀Do you know when you get the feeling you're being watched?
Known as 'the seven eyes' the Myddleton Arms in Ruthin has, at its core, a medieval hall house. Roof was re-modelled in 1657 in the Dutch fashion.

So beautiful! Here's a detail from the C7th base tower at Brixworth showing the Roman brick tile that was re-used in the Anglo-Saxon build. They were taken from the surviving Roman ruins at Leicester and Towcester

Here's a closer look at the C7th Anglo Saxon work at All Saint's, Brixworth in Northamptonshire. The arcading was once on the inside.

The C10th Anglo Saxon stair turret at All Saints, Brixworth, Northamptonshire is a mere pup - built a couple of hundred years after the base of the tower (and arcade) which is late C7th. All the Anglo Saxon work incorporates re-used Roman brick tiles.

A door of real beauty. It simply astonishes me to think that the base of the tower at All Saints in Brixworth is Anglo Saxon 7th century. Notice the murmuration of re-used Roman brick tiles in the stone coursing #thread

Not sure why this is so appealing to me - but I love it. Foxglove against the flint walls of the medieval St. Lawrence, Beeston St. Lawrence, Norfolk.
