Tourist Guide

View from a Devilish height
The churchyard at St Mary's is full of Spring Flowers. :)
A panorama of Ruskin's View. This scene depicting the River Lune was painted by Turner. It is now called Ruskin's View after John Ruskin an influential English critic, social theorist, painter and poet, who was so impressed by the picture, that he was inspired to eulogise: ‘I do not know in all my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine’
A particularly beautiful church. I love it's proportions. It is wide & low. The oldest parts are Norman. Three doorways and the inner north arcades date from the early 12th century, and the base of the tower and the south arcade are from the later part of that century. It has undergone many further developments through the centuries but certainly lost none of it's charm.
New Years Day. Cold and sparkly.
