Yup - so much to do, so little time! Hereford's something - then it's out on the trail of the Herefordshire Romanesque, the jewel of which is Kilpeck. First time I went I was expecting Rosslyn style hype - instead I found a few cows in a farmyard & had the place to myself for two hours. Then there's Much Marcle and (gulp!) the Templar church at Garway... The nearest we'll be getting this time is Worcester and Tewkesbury on the way down. The Holy Ghost at Crowcombe is a must for bench-end fans, and I just love St. Mary Magdelene's at Barwick trucked away behind Yeovil. Like I say - so much to do, so little time...

Altarnun! Never been, but always wanted to see the famous FIDDLER whose instrument matches the ones found on the Mary Rose. Nice BAGPIPER too. Note double chanter - one of several prototypes of the Cornish bagpipe...
