medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks, Anne and Jon, for the precisions on "down". It's interesting to learn that one goes up to London (as my relatives do from Newcastle upon Tyne) by rail on down lines.
In the US now, "down" somewhere now usually implies -- in my experience, at least -- either a southerly direction or (of course) a lower elevation.
Best again,
John Dillon
