  • An enthralling listen. I am a London Tour Guide, and this material is GOLD. Telling the whole narrative is a vast enterprise. Saul you are to be congratulated on a heroic campaign. An epic. One for the ages I have a question though. I guide at All Hallows by the Tower. Founded 675 AD by Ethelnerga of ESSEX. The Abbey it is beholden to is Barking not Canterbury or London. The date and time do not chime with the Mercia theory...please explain
