Time changes everything

Today I spent a freezing cold, but fascinating day out at Old Sarum in Wiltshire. Old Sarum is a giant earthworks and hill fort complex first created by Iron Age people in around 500BC. Subsequent occupiers included the Saxons, the Romans, the Normans and at its apogee, King Henry the II. Whilst standing there in the midst of the wide plains of Wiltshire, surveying the scene before me, I couldn’t help but be aware though, that for all the power and grandeur of its former occupants, time had reduced the site and its previous owners to naught.
