St. Peters on-the-wall Essex

I'm taking advantage of a gray day and internet access to do some catching up on places and events I didn't have to time to post on the trip.  Of course, technically, we're still on the trip here in DC. 

But here's a lovely spot Doug took us to in Bradwell on the coast of Essex, UK. 

I've made this bigger so it's easier to read.  But you can get a lot more information at the Bradwell Chapel website.  Here's a short snippet that tells how it got its name:

654     Cedd founded a Celtic style community at Othona, built his Cathedral of St Peters on the foundations of the Roman fort and was consecrated Bishop of Essex. In fact Cedd's Cathedral was built where the gatehouse of the fort had been - so it was built on the wall of the fort - hence the name - Saint Peter-on-the-Wall.

The yellow flowers are rape seed and I'm hoping to do another post just on that eventually.
