Bamburgh Castle
Date Added: 17th Mar 2025
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5

Bamburgh Castle submitted by Anne T on 10th Oct 2018. This piece of carved stone is recorded in the Corpus of Anglo Saxon Stone Sculpture as the 'Bamburgh Castle' stone. Its style dates it to the last quarter of the eighth century to the first quarter of the ninth. Originally described in the 19th century as part of a large cross head, it is know known to be part of the arm of a stone chair or throne. A reproduction can be found outside the keep of the castle, although the Corpus says it is not clear if it is meant to be part of the back or seat.

Avebury

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Saw from a distance

Avebury submitted by creators on 27th May 2005. I have been reluctant to submit this picture because it is a composite, taken on the same day in the same place but still a composite. It is AngieLake's exquisitely named 'receptors' hands receiving the moon and a picture I love.
So a composite done tenderly of Avebury that is at my very heart.

Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Would like to visit
Upwey Wishing Well submitted by TimPrevett on 21st May 2005. The gorgeous setting of Upwey Wishing Well. See the main entry for details. I have tested the water for ailments of the feet - a badly sprained ankle dipped for about 10 seconds on 5 occasions. Wonderfully refreshing cold flowing water to swollen and bruised tendons, but have had nothing miraculous!
This view looks downstream.
