Retrospective (2): A handful of fragments
As my next short sequence of backward-glancing links to celebrate ten years of blogging, I'm concentrating on fragments – those broken bits and pieces that can tell us so much about history – or occasionally fox us – while also being so evocative. Whether it's bits of medieval stained glass or chunks of old masonry, such unregarded scraps have often surfaced on the English Buildings blog over the last ten years. Here are a few you may have missed...
Tantalising bits of stained glass in Oxfordshire
Old bits of pottery put to architectural use in Northamptonshire
Traces of a mason's yard in Shrewsbury
A revealing broken pinnacle in Somerset
A whole wall of fragments in Gloucestershire.
