Early morning on the River Avon. The river starts in Pewsey, flows through Salisbury and joins the sea at Christchurch Harbour in Dorset where it flows into the English Channel. Five rivers in England are named Avon. Two flow through Wiltshire.

This week on #findsfriday we have a Medieval pendant in the form of an ivy leaf. The pendant is likely to have decorated costume as one of a series. The ivy leaf was often taken to signify constancy in the Middle Ages. It dates from the first half of the 15th Century, found in Urchfont in 2007.
