Summary edit

Description
English: Goodmanham, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Looking east-southeast towards Goodmanham village from the public footpath east of Stonegraves, with All Hallows Church in the centre of the picture.


Up until the 7th century A.D. the village of Goodmanham was home to the high shrine of Northumbria - a great temple of Woden, father of the gods. Upon the conversion of King Edwin of Northumbria to the Christian faith in 627 A.D. the temple was destroyed by the high priest Coifi, an event which is related by St. Bede in his History of the English Speaking Peoples (Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum). The sacking of the temple is also pictured in a stained glass window in the 12th century Norman church. More information about Goodmanham can be found on the parish council website. http://www.goodmanhamparishcouncil.org.uk/index.htm
