        A little further west in Nottinghamshire there is Teversal, possibly an Anglo-Saxon 'Sorcerer's Stronghold' :) See http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/11/sorcerers-stronghold-tolkien.html …pic.twitter.com/GQFQ7QEeTS

        Also a beautifully preserved station house and part of the platform at South Willingham. A haunting lost railway.
