The sun came out in Bishopstone, near Swindon, Wiltshire this afternoon. The strip lynchet slopes called - very worth getting wet feet for.

Two of the four churches in the United Benefice of Wanborough and Lyddington-St Andrew’s Wanborough, one of only three parish churches with a tower & spire and St Mary’s Bishopstone-near to the Royal Oak where we had a lovely lunch. A splendid Sunday at home in #eastwiltshire @churchofengland.org

The Saxo-Norman St. Andrew, Bishopston, with its C10 nave & porticus, and C12 tower. Bishopstone, South Downs. East Sussex. The sundial is C10 and bears the name EADRIC whowas possibly a C9 Sussex Earl. The Sussex Downs Saxon churches are treasures to be looked after.

Had fun interpreting maps and photos from 'Walk, Talk, Look' session at Newhaven's Eastside. Noticed the stream and tree line (poplar and alder) following an old seawall route & field boundaries. The field boundaries turned out to also be a manorial boundary between Meeching and Bishopstone. Result!
Screen shot of overlay between two maps, one an OS map from the 1890s, and the other Google maps (from NLS website). The large green rectangle at the top is a park given to the town of Newhaven by Lord Sheffield. The line of trees bordering it and heading south was the old manorial boundary between the Earl of Sheffield's Manor of Meeching, and the Duke of Newcastle/Earl of Chichester's Manor of Bishopstone. This part of Bishopstone was absorbed into Newhaven. The boundary between Eastside Park (Manor of Meeching) and the allotments that are now on land that belonged to the Manor of Bishopstone. It is shown flowing peacefully, with lots of vegetation on both sides, but yesterday the stream bed was completely dry.

Bishopstone caught my eye today, with its unusual station building, which reminded me of some of the London Underground buildings. 377322 brought me here.

Pictures from the final section (Section 10) of the Vanguard Way walk are below. It was lovely, going to Cuckmere Haven, seeing the Seven Sisters cliffs, walking Seaford Head and along the beach at Seaford and Bishopstone before heading along Tide Mills to Newhaven.
