Wonderful as always. As an American I sometimes lament that I cannot visit these medieval sites like you have in England, but living around medieval Catholic buildings which are either in ruins or appropriated by Anglicans might be worse than not having them at all.
If I may ask, have you ever visited St. Birinus Catholic Church in Dorchester-upon-Thames? I've watched videos of their Masses on YouTube and it is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen. I especially love the rood screen.
It can be bittersweet, definitely, visiting these places. I don't often get to the south of England but am working southwards slowly! In a few years I might get there.
Although I have wished more than once, while reading your posts, that you lived down the lane from me, so I could join you on your excursions - reading your thoughts and poring over your pictures is the next very best thing. Thank you! Your posts are a joy!
What a lovely tour, especially the detail concerning the ruins!
Thanks
