For today's #AdventDoor from #Colchester #BritainsFirstCity, we bring you #StBotolphsPriory.

OK we grant you there's no actual "door" there anymore but, frankly, that doesn't detract from the magnificence of this Grade l listed #historic gem.

Spent an hour recording the soundscape of St.Botolph's Priory in Colchester this morning, in response to John Constable's drawing of the same ruins in 1809. All will be shared soon. X
