  • St Peter’s, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. The tower and western baptistry are probably 10th century, not 9th as I said in the video. A rare survival of such and early structure.

    many years ago I sat there, by the pilasters, eating fish and chips, having cycled across the country and just before catching a ferry to ride to Denmark, to see the Gundestrup cauldron. A hive of bees were living in the crumbling plaster and brick and sun was strong. All was well with the world.

    Incredible to see so much still intact.

    It is so wonderful and remarkable that many of the ancient churches and cathedrals survived both the ravages of time and Henry VIII's Reformation and Dissolution.

    Although I've been to Barton on Humber several times I can't believe that I've never visited this church. A situation I intend to remedy as soon as possible. Thank you.

    The pilasters/arcading are probably a very provincial version of Norman (Romanesque) style, rather than Anglo-Saxon. It they are just a new surface on an Anglo-Saxon church, show us the interior, please.

    still got a Roman influence, the square tower and especially the double arched windows, when it was built there would have been old deserted Roman villas still around, lots of Saxon churches contain recycled Roman masonry
