I’ve got a few free tickets suddenly spare (it’s that time of year innit) for my Sgt pepper reveal event and exhibition on Tuesday evening so if anyone fancies coming to it in that London message me or let me know. It’ll be fun. There’s free prosecco, mince pies and a band. First come first served.

✨From the archives: St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view.
