cædmon's cross

^{[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 7 March 2021].}

I took this photograph in February 2012, in St Mary's churchyard, Whitby, and only just found out about the poet it was erected in honour of, Cædmon, tonight.

I've got quite a few things still left to do before midnight as today was an exceedingly lazy one, but I will have to read more about him when I get those things done.

Once again, my photography leading me to more learning and discovery :)
