#daffodils

23 posts21 participants0 posts today

Into April with a host of golden daffodils in the grounds of Sunderland's Grade I listed St Peter's Church, founded by Benedict Biscop in AD674 when the area was part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. Venerable Bede, who was brought by his parents to be educated at the monastic site which once occupied the grounds in this view, recorded that Benedict brought stonemasons and glassworkers from Gaul to help build the church, as these crafts were not yet established in Anglo-Saxon England.
