#SaxonSunday with the wonderful tower of St Mary's, Sompting, West Sussex
The earliest parts of the church date to c11 & as well as a variety of small window designs, the tower is capped with a Rhenish Helm, very unusual in England

Massive turnout at the Sompting Road roundabout in Worthing yesterday. They are right "kids lives matter". All children should have the right to walk, wheel or cycle to school safely. Maybe a "Dutch" roundabout like the one in Chichester is the answer.

Long hot drive to Sussex today but made all the better for a quick pit stop at a rather special Anglo Saxon church tower…. Sompting is simply spectacular…. And that sky!
