Church of St Margaret: Covid notice

On the door seen in TF0135 : Church of St Margaret: the door is the Test&trace checkin QR code and this welcoming notice, very different from so many other churches where precautions start with locking the door.

Site of a Roman villa by the A52 near Haceby

There is little to be seen now. But earlier excavation revealed a large villa, probably of a courtyard plan consisting of eight rooms including a bath house, and artefacts including coins dating from the period 76 to 364 AD. Link

The site, a scheduled Ancient Monument, lies next to the A52 (beyond the hedge on right), which follows the route of a Roman road (the Salt Way).
