Olavinlinna pohjoisesta kuvattuna.
A northern facade of Olavinlinna medieval fortress in Savonlinna, Finland. It is the northernmost medieval castle in the world.
The church is in Hardham, West Sussex (and part of Horsham district). The church is dedicated to Botwulf of Thorney (also called Botolph, Botulph or Botulf; d. c. 680) - an English abbot and saint, and the patron saint of travellers and farming.
The church is Saxon in origin, but the significant thing is that it has wall paintings dating back to the 1100s. At some point these were covered up, only to be revealed from 1866 onwards.
