      Incidentally, this is the origin of the Lincolnshire saying 'do you come from Bardney?' if you leave the door open! It is also referenced on the village sign: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1243832  :)pic.twitter.com/OWzcsu1gOs

          The medieval abbey ruins are worth a trip, though be warned they take the form of 'lumps of grass', as they reburied the remains...!

          Bardney Abbey site can be visited. Personally the lesser known story of Oswald niece is my favourite Mercian one. Osthryth daughter of Oswiu&niece of said Oswald was married to Penda son Aethelred. For some reason poor woman is murdered by her husband men. For some other unknown

          Reason wergeld is not requested or paid. Whitby abbess (her sister) Northumbria king (her halfbrother) raise no fuss. King buries wife in Bardney later retires to Bardney to be buried by her. Later both become Saints. Much later the Lady of the Mercians has them both unburied to

          Be safely moved away from marauding vikings to Gloucester?(unsure here) I find the tale sad&romantic. Considering how Northumbria&Mercia hated each other guts, fact Peace endured is testimony her husband was innocent fact she was buried in Abbey respectfully means same for her

          Thus a nice sad romantic story proving real love existed in the 7thC while intelligent people were able to assess situation and avoid war when possible. Honour revenge mattered yet fair justice was applied. Good people then
