I am rather dithery today about deciding what I want to write about so instead I shall take the easy way out and share my newest word. "Spolia" is the term used for incorporating old fragments of stonework into newer buildings. Little did I realise that this is what I was photographing at Winchester cathedral a few months ago. There's a lot of this sort of thing seen in churches especially.
If I can get my act together I will endeavour to show you some more of my visit to London tomorrow!

I love the interesting pieces on the bricks. I love the fact that how artistic they were in times past.

That's a new word to me too, and not mentioned in the 100 churches book even though lots of churches use bits from earlier buildings
ReplyDeleteA bit of reusing going on there. What a strange word.
