Exhibition in Parke

Yesterday we took my collection of the seventeen prints I have had made of all the churches on Dartmoor and in Devon with the Three Hares symbol as I have kindly been asked to exhibit them in Parke which is just on the edge of Bovey Tracey and a beautiful spot to visit with lovely walks along the beautiful river and in the grounds. They are on display in the newly refurbished tea rooms/restaurant and I am hoping a lot of people will then be able to discover the Trail. Many thanks to Stella who kindly asked me to exhibit there.

Bridford

A recent visit to the pretty village of Bridford on the Eastern edge of Dartmoor. The church of St Thomas Becket is early 14th c and reconstructed in 1500. It has a lovely Three Hares boss which is painted red. There is a very fine carved and painted rood screen. Here is a photo I took of one of the windows which is made up of pieces of medieval glass including the rather strange face which looks as if its tongue is sticking out! We had an excellent Sunday lunch in the Bridford Inn and a stroll around the small nature reserve.
