If you can beat this list or just add others let me know. I can’t help identifying but happy to share pics. Here’s a marble white, (using AI so I don’t have to run around after it in a field holding a camera), which seems to enjoy the local environment:
- ROMAN HISTORY IN SHERBORNE - a heads up. I am getting reports of a significant Roman find in the heart of Sherborne, one which perhaps sheds new light on our ancient past. Watch this space, I’ll report as soon as I am permitted.
That’s all for now. I have more reports cooking including a “new” pre-historic burial mound found in the parish, (yes another!) and a post on the three favoured druid flowers, all off which I think can be found in Sherborne - but I need help finding a local wild verbain.
