I live in Devon where we are lucky to have 17 churches with 29 roof bosses of the Three Hares symbol and I have painted each one and made a trail leaflet to take you to find them. All the original paintings can be seen in my gallery Ludgate Fine Art, 20 The Square, Chagford,Dartmoor,Devon,TQ13 8AB.

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.
