An Unusual Headstone The Headstone of William Sutton in the Churchyard at Farlow in Shropshire is of Baked Clay which is exactly the same process as Brick making. I believe it is also known which Kiln it was baked in in the area.

The Old-New Yew This stand alone Yew next to the footpath has the unusual appearance of all the new growth going on inside the rotted centre of the original tree. This normally happens the other way round. Come back in a few years and the dead wood of the original tree is gone and the new growth would make you think this is nothing other than a young tree.
