Visited Christ Church a few months ago from the States and the guide pointed out the fossils embedded in the Dorset Stone floor of the main sanctuary. Had a pleasant time searching out fossilized fish and seashells. Will certainly return!

Also … marvelous news article of the man who slept in the crypt coffin!

“Then off to work to put up with such wisecracks from his friends as ‘Hullo, Mike. Back from the dead again?'”

Great job! Thanks for sharing the photos, Valerie
