The power of the Saxons.

"perhaps the most imposing architectural memorial of the 7th century yet surviving north of the Alps" - Sir Alfred Clapham.

Yes it is more than 100 years old! Dated AD685 this is a very impressive monument.

Situated in the little village of Brixworth just outside Kettering, Northants. I took Mr H. there for a county badminton tournament today. Herts beat Northants 19 - 1....it wasn't close!

It was fun driving around. There was a whole bunch of other stuff to blip but a lot of the big places are shut until May, when the season starts. I will have to visit again. I never fail to be amazed how much there is of this stuff right on out doorstep.
