Calico JesseThe thing about the Time Meddler is it’s nearly impossible to see it with the surprise as it would have been on broadcast. Elizabeth Sandifer (Tardis Eruditorum) argues the story should be called The Saxons or at least The Watcher (first episode title).
While it’s a trope now, before this point historicals didn’t have sci-fi elements in them. Finding another time traveller was a true shock!

Chris KoesterOld church ruins on a #SilentSunday
Ruins of the church on the Borberg.
It is located on a 600 metre high mountain plateau in the middle of a much older Saxon rampart complex.
The first construction phase dates back to the 10th century.
It was one of the first churches in my homeland.
I live below the Borberg and can reach this place in about 30 minutes on foot.
In my spare time, I give talks about the church and the ramparts and explain their history: https://www.derborberg.de/mythen-sagen-forschung/

I. LathamJust putting this out there. It is increasingly apparent to me that this old Germanic lore — what is commonly called Norse paganism — is centred on a specific people and geographic region.

Camelot.
Well, Cadbury Castle has been associated with Arthurian legend since Tudor times (possibly because of the nearby River Camel).
But it was an iron-age hillfort, refortified at the time of the 6thC - so it's Artherish.
