Funny you Should ask that Mr S.

moss and I were at St Oswald’s Church in Lythe (North Yorkshire) the other day. Went out to see their spectacular collection of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian stone work. First thing I did was to trace my finger along the intricately carved knot-work on one piece of stone - even said to moss at the time, "I'm touching the same carving that our Anglo-Saxon forefathers touched."

It's the sense of 'touch' that provides us with the sense of 'connectivity' isn't it - you even see it in very small children, seeing and then reaching out to touch.

Great little exhibition room at St Oswald’s Church by the way, "The purpose of Lythe PCC in sponsoring this heritage project was to conserve and secure the collections for future generations and to provide a display which interpreted the significance of what is here." and well worth a visit.
