Anchor Church. The church is actually a cave dwelling. Partly natural and partly man made the caves were originally formed by the action of the river Trent on the rocks.
Nestled in a sandstone crag along a winding river in the English countryside, a near-complete Anglo-Saxon cave house has been waiting to tell centuries-old stories. Perhaps one of a Northumbrian king driven into exile and living out his last days as a hermit, possibly within its stony walls. Or one of the Great Heathen Army, Viking warriors from Scandinavia, that invaded England by the thousands and set up camp outside, conquering what was then the Kingdom of Mercia.

Services are being cut from around 87% of normal levels to 72% due to the latest
COVID-19 lockdown in England.
Industry body the
Rail Delivery Group (RDG) said this reflects the lower number of people travelling and provides better value for money for taxpayers, who are subsiding franchised train operators to keep trains running.
