The spire was built 500 yrs ago this year, but church probably descendant of Anglo-Saxon minster church--will post on this at some point :)
A mysterious & very low arch in the south side of St James's church, Louth...pic.twitter.com/4g92pnTpeo
Fwiw, this is where the arch would be if it were visible on the outside of the church (nb church rebuilt c.1430):pic.twitter.com/vXVpZEFjCl
In terms of site history, current St James's church is a 15thC rebuild of a mid-13thC church, which seems to have replaced a L12thC church >
> which in turn replaced earlier church. No pre-L12thC fabric known, but earliest church was prob Anglo-Saxon Minster church of c.700 AD...
@caitlinrgreen could it be a tomb recess if it was within an earlier thicker wall?
@pete_savin Interesting idea---wall is currently not thick enough for that, I think, but perhaps in the past...?
@caitlinrgreen Upset with the Enclosure Laws, yes. I recall that was at the core of this uprising.
@mjd1735 That was a motivation, but I think religious matters & complaints played a significant part in motivating the Commons too :)
@caitlinrgreen Indeed, but you know, Hollinshed's accounts emphasize the Enclosure laws much more. I rely on him a lot.
