The Genius Loci Digest is as much yours as it is mine.
I came to Wing in Buckinghamshire to see just one thing: the Anglo Saxon apse to the church. The apse is C10th and is thought to have been built for Aelfgifa, sister-in-law to King Edgar.
For me, this is more than just a building. With its classical references it betrays the power of Rome upon the imagination of the Anglo Saxon.
