The shrine of St Cedd, 7th century Northumbrian Abbot of the religious community at Lastingham.
It's in the crypt of the 11th century St Mary's church, and his remains are by the right side of the altar.
The crypt hasn't been altered since the Norman conquest. I'm not religious, but I always find the place strangely moving #churches #churcharchitecture #shrines #medieval #history #northyorkmoors #northyorkshire

Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.
