That's knapped flint, which combined with the worked limestone is known as 'flushwork' - quite common in these parts

Denton, St Mary, Norfolk
P...P...P...P...Petite panels peeping from the past
Returning to Denton, St Mary, I was fascinated by the tiny little medieval painted panels incorporated into a 19thC chest within the church:

Late medieval rood screen panels at Swanton Abbot, Norfolk. Curiously, these face eastwards on the reverse of the screen having been placed here after the screen was rebuilt in the early twentieth century #swantonabbot #norfolk #northnorfolk #church #churches #roodscreen #medieval

On Tuesday, I'm delivering a lecture entitled, 'Healing Heritage', about the potential for stimulating encounters with heritage to improve wellbeing. I'll be speaking, both, as heritage interpretation practitioner and PTSD 'survivor' #heritage #wellbeing #mentalhealth
