What remains of Anglo-Saxon England’s churches and landscapes? My Anglo-Saxon gallery shows some of the photos I have taken at Anglo-Saxon sites, especially in East Anglia. Much of the landscape, architecture, sculpture and wall paintings of our pre-Conquest past has been lost, ruined or damaged by time and human agency, leaving a few precious, tangible reminders of those years. However, miraculously, often all we need to do is to walk across a landscape with fresh eyes or into a local church or minster to see these treasures.
