@caitlinrgreen Is that a group baptism at the lower left, or was the Church on a personal hygiene crusade?
@GeorgeRick1 Pretty sure that's jolly old St Nick ;)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/545629720482967553 …
@caitlinrgreen Ah, thank you for clarifying! And right now I'm trying to find places on Google Maps that are also on the 14th-16th C maps.
@caitlinrgreen Enjoyed your post. Is Ageland perhaps a version of Aveland (Aveland wapentake)?
@HeirOxford Sometimes claimed so, but Aveland < Afi + *never* features -g- looking at forms, plus Ageland consistently placed in Louth area>
@HeirOxford > which is a long way from Sleaford+opposite side of Witham... 1 textual ref = 15thC where seems linked to Bolingbroke (which >
@HeirOxford > is in Lindsey, of course) + 14thC surname usage w/ -g-....! :)
@caitlinrgreen @ClerkofOxford There was a spire on the top of Ely's great western tower, pulled down in 1748, despite inhabitants' protests.
@Margaret2351 @ClerkofOxford Lincoln once had three, but likewise lost them, helped by a storm & inspiring a riot! http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2013/11/when-lincoln-cathedral-was-the-tallest-building-in-the-world/ …
@caitlinrgreen Amusing to see a spire on Ely...
