The now closed and derelict Church of St John at Rookhope Viewed from the south-west. A notice within the porch of the church indicates how the contents were dispersed upon closure in 2014. One can hope that it will find a new use as a dwelling.

Horse and rider crossing Crow Coal Hill An unusual sight on the moorlands above the Wear valley. Horses and riders rarely reach such altitudes partly because of access issues but also, presumably, due to the difficult nature of the terrain. Curiously, two other riders were seen out on the slopes of the hill later in the day. Windy Hill, across Rook Hope, is in the distance.
