Anglo-Danish Crosses and Cumberland Sausages - A visit to Ellerburn Church, North Yorkshire

[@kathywolfe6606]

Thanks to you I look at old churches much differently. I really appreciate the new knowledge. I'm so glad they saved parts of the old churches for us to enjoy.

Your content and comment are wonderful, I have learned so much from just the few I've seen. So I really appreciate that you've done these, I know I will never see these things in person. I'm in Oregon, u.s., nothing earlier than 1800 to look at architecture. Thank you SO MUCH:)

An absolute pleasure, it's wonderful to be able to bring these places to a more remote audience!

❤ TY for the history tours!!!!

Beautiful church. All those Cumberland Sausages, though, would add to the problems of fasting.

A temptation on every pillar.

Don't you wish these old churches could speak? Don't you wish you could interview the people who love them, brought their children here to baptize them, got married and gave their children away to marriage here and who knew they would be buried there when their time came.

Absolutely and that is the thrill of the whole thing - we get just a tantalising glimpse from the evidence of the buildings. I often wish I could go back to the late 15th century and see these places in their heyday, being used in the way they were intended to be used before the depredations of the Reformation.

I enjoyed the technical terminology in this one 😉

[@allanbarton]

Ha, ha - I should suggest these terms to the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon sculpture.

@@allanbarton when you mentioned the acorns, I couldn't help but think of soft boiled eggs in their little egg cups all along the benches ☺
