In 1906 the Automobile Association erected the first road sign to assist the new breed of motorist taking to the UK's roads. Many were removed during WW2 but some still survive insitu - this example from sometime between 1912 and 1920, will be found in the village of Ramsbury (AA&MU - Automobile Association and Motor Union) #aa #automobileassociation #roadsign #ramsbury (at The Bell at Ramsbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqpiKpngqc/?igshid=1ltulvsn3a7b6

The 25 March is the feast of St Alfwold of Sherborne (d.1058), monk of Winchester and Bishop of Sherborne in Dorset. Remarkably, the great Anglo-Norman chronicler, William of Malmesbury recorded various details about St Alfwold, derived from a priest in the diocese who had actually known the saint. Malmesbury noted that St Alfwold practiced habitual abstinence at a time when self-indulgence was commonplace; he used wooden plates and bowls at table, rather than the precious vessels favoured by most bishops; St Alfwold was specially devoted to St Swithun of Winchester whose image he set up in the church at Sherborne, and to St Cuthbert, whose shrine in the north he had repeatedly visited and whose antiphon he often repeated. But despite his humility, St Alfwold was a firm man; he quarrelled at least once with Godwin, Earl of Wessex, who was smitten with a sudden illness and who was said to have recovered only at the saint’s pardon. After St Alfwold’s death, the sees of Sherborne and Ramsbury were united in 1070 to become the see of Salisbury.
