Anglo-Saxons...

...and their prayers and poetry came alive for us this evening at this church at London Bridge. An evening led by Sarah de Nordwall and organised by LOGS - the ladies group based at the church, in conjunction with CATHOLIC HISTORY WALKS...we heard the history of Roman Britain/Saxon invasions/Vikings/Normans  and we listened to, among much else, some Beowulf, and some of the Song of the Rood...

The room was packed - we had just about enough space for everyone to cram in. LOGS did us proud with snacks and wine and pancakes  and pancakes and pancakes...it was a perfect way to mark Shrovetide, and one ofthe most successful-ever LOGS evenings...
