Illuminated,
the lofty, granite spires rise
atop piety,
remaining just a shadow
of the splendour that awaits.

I think he lost it to a pear tree after he threw his lot in with the Danes (I guess he hoped then to bring home the bacon; an action more rasher would be hard to find.)

I knew he came from around about that area. There’s an erroneous notiion that he came from the Fens, just because that’s where the ‘end’ action was. Though I do confess I haven’t read much about him. I do know that Robert Malet’s father died in the conflict. Which may not mean much to you but I researched the family and its connections for a history project a few years back.
