Re: Today in pictures

A few shots in and around Dacre church - famous for the Dacre bears -four statues which guard the church N,E,W,and S. Some believe they are mediaeval lions but they are standing upright. There's a shot of Dacre Castle over the stile. Some lovely stained glass windows from different eras and a beautiful etched one. Note the one dedicated to Willie Whitelaw.

The old lady was called Nellie - we got talking - she was originally from Blackburn. She was a real character in her 90's, saw her a few times over the years, she has since passed away.
