(Sorry it's taken me a bit longer to start posting than I anticipated. The first leg of the adventure was a walking pilgrimage across Kent, so WiFi was understandably hard to come by sometimes. Even here in Oxford it's spotty, so I'll have to post a bit at a time, but I'll try to make it daily.)
Day 1: Stopping in at the village churches of my Burden ancestors!
 |
| Borden (likely where the Burdens lived some 900 years ago) |
 |
| Interior of the Borden church (exterior below) |
 |
| Church of St Peter & St Paul, Borden (tower goes back to earliest construction) |
 |
| Now in Headcorn, where the Burdens lived from about 1300 until emigrating to North America |
 |
| The Headcorn church, coincidentally also named in honor of Peter and Paul |

That's it for now. I'll upload a photo log of my second day tomorrow. I'm posting from a cell phone rather than a computer, so any longform written reflections, which you might justly have expected of me, will have to wait till my return.
