Animal pounds, sheepfolds, pund, pinfolds were used to impound stray livestock in the Lord of the Manor’s official enclosure, often found on the local Pound Lane.

Blundeston Village Pound was an important part of Blundeston life. When livestock was moved from one pasture to another, or to market, it was done ‘on the hoof’. Sometimes a few would go astray and these would be impounded here. They were looked after by the pinder, who fed and watered them. A fee had to be paid on collection by the owner. This is the only public property The Lord of the Manor still retains in the village.

Oh God, not another disastar to befall us!

Catastrophe is usually defined to mean the denouement of a tragic drama, but basically signifies a downfalling star and a deviation (dys)-aster of stars. Patten has counted and lists 369 words that are connected etymologically with the root of Mars, Ares, Bel, Indra, Tyr and other Martian gods. Practically all of them connote bad actions or feelings or experiences.

Cromwell’s soldiers, led by the ferocious William Dowsing, did colossal damage to every form of religious imagery, smashing glass, defacing stone sculpture and firing at wooden roofs in an attempt to obliterate every bit of what they had considered to be the heathen elements of Christian worship. “

Paranthropus robustus Homo Platypus

More evidence suggesting that human evolution can happen relatively very quickly. Perhaps changes to lifeforms can be nearly instantaneous and it is not linear, more episodal?

Can you get a wide variety of hominins all naturally built using many different building blocks from previous and future versions of man and woman?

There were previous suggestions it was a round tower Church built by the puzzling Anglo-Saxons culture, those Sassanochs as the Celtic Scottish called them.
