Native grasses grow beneath the trees - between the fruit, grass seeds, insects + mistletoe berries the whole place is a banquet for the birds right through into the coldest, darkest months of the year.

In the old orchard at Cotehele #Cornwall mistletoe grows in the branches of apple trees adorned with a rich array of lichens + moss so that as well as all the moths + insects that use apple trees as a larval food plant, it's also supporting the many species who feed on lichens, moss + mistletoe.

11th or 12th Century wall painting uncovered hidden under whitewash a few years back at the tiny church of St John the Baptist in Clayton, West Sussex. The painters are thought to have been based at Lewes Priory + to have lived at some point in Southern Europe based on the style of clothes painted.

St Bartholomew the Great Church, Smithfields, London. Perhaps its location beyond the city walls saved it from fashionable renovation down the centuries, leaving the Romanesque beauty intact.

The third stone was discovered being used as a kerbstone in Tavistock, inscribed in Latin “(The stone) of Nepranus, son of Conbevus.” Nepranus has a Latinised name, while his father’s name, Conbevus, is Celtic.
