A late 8th or 9th century Anglo-Saxon grave marker from Hexham Abbey in Northumberland for Tundwini. The stone is part of the Abbey’s excellent museum collection. 📸 My own. #SaxonSunday #HexhamAbbey #Northumberland

The lavatorium, part of remains of 13th C rebuilding of the #Saxon Benedictine monastery at #HexhamAbbey.

Facilities beside refectory in the Early English style cloister, where monks washed before meals, largely dismantled in a spate of Reformation stone quarrying.

Tomb effigies of unknown early-14th C women, found c.1750 buried in @HexhamAbbey graveyard. Later placed in church near 2 other medieval effigies.
Hands are joined in prayer, their feet rest upon mystery animals.
Good to see even if they are shadows of former selves.

Hexham Abbey, St. Wilfrid's Abbey dates from 674, the Abbey was enlarged between 1170 and 1250. The East end was rebuilt in 1858. Ten years ago the court was finally taken back into the Abbey and is now a visitor centre.

#Roman tombstone of Flavinus found under @HexhamAbbey floor.
Stationed on Hadrian's Wall, the high ranking Signifer from Gaulish cavalry regiment of Petriana carries standard w sun god + wears a torque, possibly mark of status among his Celtic people, as he tramples a barbarian.

Hexham - Jim Edwards
Original painting, acrylic on board (50x50cm), framed.
I’ve had to make an adjustment to the sky on this one, I was compelled to paint it dark pink. The sky’s unchanged on the prints.

4/24 / Christmas in Hexham just got a bit merrier this year. The town – rightly, but I'm biased! – is number three on the 2024 list of 'The happiest places to live in the UK', according to Rightmove... #hexham #hexhamabbey #tynedale #christmascountdown #adventcalendar #architecturalphotography

13/24 / In the UK (excluding upland areas), it's statistically more likely that you'll see snow at Easter than on Christmas Day BUT only when Easter is in March... #hexhamabbey #northumberland #adventcalendar #christmascountdown #northumberland #photography #unitedkingdom #winterweather

History of the Frith Stool @HexhamAbbey is a bit foggy, but it was probably made for founder St Wilfrid c 674, perhaps used as his Bishop's Throne.
Made of decorated sandstone block, possibly from Corbridge #Roman ruins, may later have denoted site of sanctuary/refuge.

What an excellent performance of #TheMessiah by @WildArts in #HexhamAbbey tonight. Sung beautifully and staged with real sensitivity to the building.

A few sketches that haven't made it onto #VintageMaps yet. Which would you choose to see on a finished painting or is there somewhere else you'd choose?

Hexham Abbey, Northumberland
Winter sunlight makes such a difference to the enjoyment of its golden sandstone and magnificent windows.
