They were commended to us in an interesting sermon by the Precentor, the Revd Canon James Mustard, at the Eucharist this morning in Exeter Cathedral.Christopher Bryanhttp://www.christopherbryanonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758649432241863530.post-64671776749170148922019-09-17T09:43:41.067+01:002019-09-17T09:43:41.067+01:00I came across this post as I was searching for Byr...I came across this post as I was searching for Byrhtwold’s speech, hoping for a little inspiration. It was a lucky find and I enjoyed the analysis very much. Thank you, Clerk of Oxford. It’s moving that the best words are given to the old retainer, not to the political Byrhtnoth with his ofermod. I feel there should be a statue of Byrhtwold.

The is not much there to mark it other than a nice big statue of Bryhtnoth. It's a beautiful place, quiet lots of wading birds and salt marsh. Would recommend a visit if you are passing.
