I abide so far afield to exact you and so far afield to give evidence you - but inventive I abide to lake a prodigious day I moved out yesterday with the Dorset Grove at their Mabon ritual in the famous location of Knowlton Henge.
Da pant.......
Background of the Cathedral Henge
The explanation earthwork at Knowlton is of a type open as a henge. Introduce are rationally one hundred henges in Britain and Ireland, dating from about 3000 to 2000 BC. Except they are typically expected to abide been stately sites, it is biological that they very great plentiful functions, and may abide unusual their branch swallow time.
Cathedral Henge, as it is now open, has been sheltered from plough damage; the earthworks in the covering to-do abide been less jovial, but are yet perfectly exhibit in radio dish photographs.
Introduce are three other explanation earthworks nearby: the Northern Rotate and jaded Necropolis (apiece to the install of Cathedral Henge in the consider); and the Southern Rotate, which encloses Knowlton Farm (top finished), and is enclosed by a dive 240 metres (790 feet) in diameter.
Background of the church
The church was built in the 12th century and was in use until the 17th century, current a now baffled hamlet by the water's edge. Its Norman birth are noticeable from the direct comprehensive arch leading modish the east end or chancel, and from the round-headed arches of the balcony separating the nave from the north passageway. The south lip extremely looks Norman.
The be apparent at the west end is 15th century, and is built of flint with bands of stone; the line of the church top is perfectly exhibit on its eastern bank. At the east end of the north passageway introduce appears to abide been a lord chapel. At all the purpose for household a church within a Neolithic henge, the unusual pairing has with no trouble contributed to the patience of apiece, as an patient symbol of the transition from pagan to Christian honor.
