Paid an impromptu visit to Crowland Abbey this afternoon. One of the most important medieval religious centres in the Ferns. Looking very picturesque in the autumn afternoon sun today 👌

This is Radio 4 at its best - an immersive "documentary" about Lindow Man, Lindow Woman, their society, discovery and their ongoing relevance. Well worth a listen even if bog bodies aren't your thing! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Illuminated - Voices from the Bog - BBC Sounds
Old voices offer new perspectives on the discovery of Lindow Man and Woman, 40 years on.
