Knowlton Church and Earthworks

A Norman Church, extensively remodelled in the 14th century.

It stands inside a late Neolithic Henge monument, constructed c2500 BC
This consists of a ring bank with two entrances and an internal ditch: it was probably meant for ceremonial use.

The two yew trees, standing very close to each other, in the background are extremely old and are used by many as a sort of shrine.

There are ribbons, small toys, flags, religious symbols, etc inside the trees hidden from view.

In the foreground, the yellow flowers are not all dandelions but cowslips, which you may be able to see in LARGE.

We went to see the cowslips and while not as plentiful as yesterday's blip of bluebells, they were festooned over all the mounds and ditches.
