Some photos from a circular walk today starting and ending at the village of Boxgrove in West Sussex.
https://share.icloud.com/photos/0109kY0XrmS28UmzJtJxguMPg Boxgrove is a beautiful village, half a million years old, with a very nice village shop. It is famous for several things, including the oldest human remains found in Britain, a tibia and two teeth from a Neanderthal and the supposed ancestor of Neanderthals and hom saps. Oddly they were discovered by a certain Mark Roberts. It is also known for Boxgrove Priory, the remains of a 12th century Benedictine monastery. There are vineyards all round the village but oddly you can’t buy the local wine in the village shop - apparently there’s no demand for it. Not sure what that says about the wine, I’ll have to try some. The village is on the Roman road Stane Street, which links Chichester and London and was probably built in the first few years after the second Roman invasion. The road today is a mix of modern busy road, and quiet public footpaths as seen in these photos. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
