After visiting Gloucester Cathedral last Monday (on which see previous post), we headed just nine miles north to the village of Deerhurst, which boasts not one but two Saxon churches. The Anglo-Saxon period ranges from about 600 AD until the Normans took over in 1066. Saxon architecture is fairly rare and I think the only example we'd ever seen is the Saxon tower of St Michael at the North Gate
