A city with a very interesting history. It has a number of self guided walks but we also had a tour with Guide Frank who was very knowledgeable Here are some of the things we saw and heard about. Firstly Beatrix Potter who had family in the town and frequently came to visit
Charles II
The statue now resides in an obscure position beside a block of 1960s flats
Robert Raikes who began the Sunday school movement
And one of the schools pupils
The pnerhaps not as well known to us as to Mr Dyson
…
The Judges Lodging is now a self catering holiday let
Ignore the Costa signs and look up at the embellishment on the upper walls
And above the jewellers and clockmakers are these amazing figures
And so on to the New Inn
One member of staff, seeing our interest, kindly showed us a very fine bedroom with amazing plasterwork on the ceiling.
A lovely park bench just too dirty to sit on! We probably need people to act on the poster below
