DSC_0008 (3) — This plaque is outside St. James’ church in Louth, Lincolnshire.

The Lincolnshire Rising of the autumn of 1536 was a popular uprising in protest to King Henry VIII’s and Thomas Cromwell’s decision to dissolve the monasteries. It was the spark which led to the more widespread uprising, called the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536-7.

Poem From A Picture: ‘Trinity’

PSX_20200128_093817 — Trinity Bridge, Crowland, Lincolnshire, England.

Where water once flowed
like rivers of belief,
diverted elsewhere or underground.
Yet the three-in-one bridge remains,
a reminder that I am a father, a son
and a brother too.

Poem From A Picture: ‘Doorways’

The ruins of Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire, England.

Poem From A Picture: ‘Doorways’

Doorways to nowhere,
ghosts whisper from parallel worlds
where alternate timelines run,
better worlds than our own.
