A local lady was walking her dog along
the road to the church, so I asked her if she knew
anything about the ruin. The unhelpful answer was "It's
a church." I tried a second question in an attempt to
get a little more information. "I think it's St
Margaret's" was the answer. Satoshi was playing "Pokémon
Go". This is sometimes more useful than one may think.
On this occasion, it was able to furnish the name of the
church:
St Mary the
Virgin, Appleton. Armed with this information we
quickly found that the church has been a ruin since the
17th century.
The main focus for today was a visit to
Norwich
Cathedral. This is a very large church which has
the second-tallest spire in England (losing to
Salisbury) and also the 2nd largest cloister, losing
to... Salisbury! Building began in 1096 and was
completed by 1145. It is filled with items of interest
and artworks. I hope you will find something to marvel
at in the photos below.
