Looking up at a window of Anchor Church, Foremark, Derbyshire, reputedly used by Saxon hermits (anchorites) but remodelled in the C18th as a landscape folly and summer banqueting lodge in the romantic park of Foremark Hall. The windows and a rebated frame for a timber door were created in the 1720s, probably by Charles Bridgeman for the Burdett family. There are references to Hardulph (Hartulph, Hardulche), an Early Medieval Saxon saint, having a cell in a cliff a little way from the Trent. St Modwen has also been linked with the site.
