Day 149 - Had a drive about today and ended up at Reculver, it was a bit overcast but managed a nice walk and snapped a few pictures along the way. The Roman Fort of Regulbium was established around AD200 whereupon it was occupied for 200 years until it was abandoned, it was later re-used as an Anglo-Saxon monastery. The monastic church was subsequently adapted and served as Reculver's parish church until the early 19th century when coastal erosion led to it's demolition. Only the tower's (as seen today) were saved as navigational markers.
Wow! Amazing that it has lasted so long and is still standing! That is what makes it so special and what I love about Europe...all the history and interesting architecture...churches, castles and cottages.
