The west door of St John's Church.  Look carefully and you will see carvings of an owl and a cat at the feet of the arch - these are said to be the inspiration for Edward Lear's nonsense poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat'.

The church of St John A grade II listed parish church built in 1833 as a private chapel to Osberton Hall. My fellow geographer is apparently saying his prayers at the west door.

Foljambe family graves The Foljambes, owners of the Osberton Hall estate, are buried by the east end of the church. Most of these graves are aligned east-west but two are aligned north-south. I wonder why?
