Great North Museum (Anglo Saxon Stones)
Date Added: 5th Nov 2022
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Tyne and Wear)
Visited: Yes on 31st Oct 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Great North Museum (Anglo Saxon Stones) submitted by Anne T on 11th May 2018. This is the front of the Rothbury Cross head, described as one of the finest pieces of Anglo-Saxon sculpture from the Kingdom of Northumbria. It is carved with scenes of the crucifixion and other motifs. The museum sign says it was made about 100 years after the Lindisfarne Gospels but "clearly belongs to the same artistic tradition." From the collection of the Society of Antiquities of Newcastle upon Tyne. Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.

Log Text: Great collection of items - some were removed for the Lindisfarne Gospells exhibition in the Laing Art Gallery. (We had also visited that & they are absolutely stunning examples of carved crosses).

Great North Museum (Rock Art) submitted by Anne T on 10th May 2018. On display in a case in the Prehistoric display on the ground floor. Comparing photographs, I think this is Fowberry Moor Farm, Island/Deershed Plantation Panel, ERA-1842, Beckensall 179. The panel is stained dark red due to peat staining.
Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.

Log Text: A lot of rocks in one cathedral! Many carved rocks propped against various walls - some near the crypt and some directly across in one of the small enclaves. Wonderful carvings, a personal favourite is one of a sword handle & cross guard. Cathedral itself is stunning with gorgeous stained glass pieces & friendly staff.

Wookey Hole Caves
Date Added: 2nd Aug 2023
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Would like to visit
Wookey Hole Caves submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. Fairly standard picture from one of the first caverns (The so-called Witch's Kitchen) at Wookey Hole caves. The water is the River Axe, which soon after this point emerges into the open. Bear in mind that the water level in the caves was raised by the construction of Wookey Hole mill in the 17th century (and even further back with the mill recorded in the Domesday Book). The caves were used by palaeolithic humans and again by people in the Iron Age. In the past hundred years they have been devel...

London Stone

Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Would like to visit
London Stone submitted by Thorgrim on 1st Apr 2004. Once considered to be the guardian of the City and the place where all distances from London were measured, the London Stone now sits almost forgotten in a little glass box set into the wall of 111, Cannon Street opposite the Underground Station at TQ326809. Very difficult to photograph because of the internal light and glass. It is very low to the pavement and I put my compact digital to the glass and hoped for the best!
The Stone is a fragment of oolithic limestone and must have been brou...
