Knowlton Church, Dorset, pre-dawn. Portrait aspect.

---

A Norman Church extensively remodelled in the 14th Century. It stands inside a late Neolithic henge monument constructed approximately 2500BC. This consists of a ringed bank with two entrances and an internal ditch and was probably meant for ceremonial use. Seen here just before Sun-rise on a Winter's morning.
