Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Churn Knob. The knob is a tumulus. The cross is there because the roots of Christianity in Wessex can purportedly be traced to here. Apparently St Birinus, who had been sent by Pope Honorius I in 634, first met King Cynegils of Wessex on this site. Nowadays an annual pilgrimage takes place from here to Dorchester Abbey at Dorchester-on-Thames (about 12 miles). |
