When the early church was trying to convert the Saxons, an edict went out that all idols and stones were to be destroyed but that temples were to be converted into churches. So some early Saxon churches were built on pagan sites. Norman churches then replaced many. Thing is - what exactly were the pagan sites? Mounds, barrows, Roman pagan temples? Germanic tribes worshipped in forest groves rather than built temples according to Agricola and Caesar. Whole lot of archaeology under churches that we just can't get at. Would TMA consider finding and mapping churches on ancient mounds?
