The Dartmoor series continues with a distant view of Brentor and I’ve posted a larger image then usual so that you can zoom in to the horizon and see the church.
Brentor
St Michael’s tower atop volcanic cone
presiding over broad sweep of moor
with expanse of green pasture and hedge
and with barren peat soil to the fore
built on solid granite eight centuries past
you perch on sacred pagan land
with unconcerned remains of thirty nine
lying north to south beneath Christian floor
traces remain of what once was so fine
crafted Before Christ by sturdy hands
no longer standing the ancient hill fort
but in perpetuam it’s ghosts will hold fast
