We had a trip to Covent
Garden for last week's Sunday Snap with the Paddington Bear statute. Quite appropriately this multicoloured, striped
interpretation of Paddington is called 'Rainbow'. Well done to Rachel
and Steph who both got
the correct answer as to the designer of this Paddington. It was of
course the very beautiful and very talented
Darcey Bussell
For this week we are back up
north in the Peak District. It's been suitably wintry of late in
these parts with not only snow but rainstorms and gales. In the brief
calm we managed to nip out to the Peak District to find some snow
that remained untouched. The church you can see serves as a parish
church for the ducal estate village it is in. It was redesigned by
the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century
and incorporates some of the original building. In the graveyard you
will find the tombs of many of the past Dukes as well as Sir Joseph
Paxton and Kathleen Kennedy. Paxton was the head gardener at nearby
ducal house but also the designer of The Crystal Palace. Kathleen
Kennedy was the sister of US President John. F. Kennedy. Shortly
before his death in 1963 President Kennedy came to visit his sister
grave. This week's question is
Can you name the village or
Peak District estate this church is in?
Last week we also had had

of Sandal Castle. Do go and check it out!

ReplyDeleteI am sorry but no. I don't have a clue what this place might be.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, not being a Peak District regular, but I do think it's a gorgeous pic and looks a lovely place for a winter walk.
ReplyDeleteNot a clue but a lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteIs it Castleton? Thanks for joining #Linked
ReplyDeleteI have to say I haven't got a clue, this is part of the world I don't know at all...
ReplyDeleteI have no idea either - I don't really know that part of the world, although I think I had a school trip there many years ago. Stunning picture.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what any of the peak district estates are but this is a great photo.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous - really want snow
