Also the Churches Conservation Trust, which writes to me today offering a tour of "Anglo-Saxon Origins in Hampshire", among other ecclesiastical history delights. Churches themselves are often referred to as "Saxon" (as opposed to "Norman") I note, even in areas that are more Jutish or Angle in settlement. Hampshire is pretty soundly Saxon, though, can't quibble there.
Of course, having had my attention drawn to the issue, I am now seeing what I would have formerly considered benign, entirely historical uses of "Anglo-Saxon" absolutely everywhere. It's going to be very hard to root out, if that's what we end up doing.
