Great window display in the chiropractor’s office

The stunningly beautiful St Peter’s Sowerby, a Grade 1 listed building, and the best example of a Georgian church outside London. The current congregation is between 15 and 30.

The church warden agreed to open up the church for us. He came with his two dogs who were enchanted by the organ music!

The view from Jean’s front window – spectacular, even on this wet afternoon

With author Jean Illingworth and her husband.

It turns out that my Barraclough ancestors dating from the mid 1600’s  are buried here. The church is very austere on the outside but beautiful inside.

This evening’s entertainment: an interview with Dr Mike Green, home office pathologist who worked on the Yorkshire Ripper case and the Ian Brady and Myra Hindley moors murders.

In conversation with Mike Green in Hebden Bridge library.
