Cracking stuff, A-B.....especially the piccys's. The picture of Church in the 1860's is one I've never seen before, although I've seen a couple from the 1900's and later. I don't know about Oswald's remains being in Church on the way back from the battle of Maserfield in 642; He was of course, hacked to bits in the battle & I always thought the body bits ended up in Gloucester, with one arm surviving in perfect condition right up until the Reformation.

I still have'nt a clue about the wall design; I can't even work out if it's functional or ornamental.
