West Stockwith, Harpswell, Hemswell Antiques Centre, and Tickhill

Another day out with my support worker. It rained for most of the time but during a couple of breaks I managed to get some photographs of two village churches .

West Stockwith isn't on the direct route to the antiques but we went for a circular drive to visit some of the villages in North Nottinghamshire to stretch out the day a bit. I didn't just take photographs there, I also bought some strawberries from a roadside stall that sells fresh produce.

The church isn't as you'd expect it to be; it's a Georgian building and doesn't look that different to several other buildings in the village.






Harpswell is only a couple of miles from the antiques centre. The church there is much more traditional in its architecture, however in one aspect it's quite rare...the tower is Anglo-Saxon. You can clearly see the distinctive stonework in the second photograph.












On the way back home we called at the cafe at the Retford and Gainsborough Garden Centre. We didn't stay long though and had nothing to eat there; the covid safety procedures were far too complicated, demeaning, and unnecessary and so we continued on to the tearooms at Tickhill which we regularly visit. Things are basically normal there.
