Luck was with us yet
again weather wise on Sunday no rain although quite muddy in places as promised. A nice even number of 14 plus
Meg, a cute black and white Border Collie set off from Shackleford Village for a 5 mile walk.
Heading off in the direction
of Eashing we stopped for our coffee break at St. Nicholas Church at Peper Harow. The church dates
back to Norman times although very little remains of the original medieval
building.
In 1826 the western
tower was added, replacing a wooden bell-turret with shingled spire.
Unfortunately, the church sustained considerable fire damage in December 2007.
As you will see from the lovely photos taken by Margo, restoration has been
completed.
The route continued around
Norney and Hurtmore through fields and woodland carpeted with Snowdrops;
concluding at the Squirrel at Hurtmore
for drinks etc.
