THREE HARES Stained Glass

Now hanging in my Three Hares Gallery in Chagford is this beautiful Stained Glass effect window by Sadie Covenrty, it is based on my Moon Hares design and I think it works really well in glass and looks stunning with the light shining through it. You can commission Sadie to do a window for you!

Warren House Inn

This is the sign above the front door of the famous Warren House Inn on Dartmoor, it is more likely to be three rabbits than hares as the area was where they used to breed rabbits for the tin miners to eat and the Inn has a wonderful rabbit pie on its menue!

Mystery of The Three Hares

A new painting & poem of mine inspired by the Three Hares bosses in our churches in Devon. The poem reads:- The stars dust you in their mystery. Your meaning lost in the depths of history. Your image through artists eyes evolved. Your secrets will remain unsolved.

The Three Hares of North Bovey

This is my oil painting of St John the Baptist Church in the lovely village of North Bovey on Dartmoor, as you can see I have painted the Three Hares boss which is located in the ceiling of the church exactly as it is. This is one of the 17 churches on my Three Hares Trail and a lovely place to visit.

The Three Hares of Paignton

The Church of St John the Baptist in Paignton has a very fine and beautifully painted Three Hares boss, the church itself is well worth a visit tucked away in an ancient part of Paignton it is made out of the red sandstone of Devon. It is the most southerly church on my trail.

St Mary's, Kelly

This romantic little church is found in the remote village of Kelly which is between Tavistock and Launceston. It is the furthest West on my Three Hares Trail and has one ancient wooden carved boss of the Three Hares and a nice modern copy. It is well worth a visit.
