Disused chapel at Holmesfield Common

This Wesleyan Reform Chapel was erected in 1848. It could accommodate a hundred people.

Angel and scarecrow, Holmesfield

Popular gastro-pub next to St Swithin's Church. The rather dishevelled figure on the left would appear to be a remnant of the village's scarecrow hunt/festival/competition, maybe deliberately so, given the champagne glass in its hand, but in no worse a state than many of the others nearby.

The path from Unthank Lane, looking into Stripes Wood

Ancient hollow way

This has water in it because of recent rain but I think the path was not intended as a drainage channel. It seemed like an ancient hollow way.

Ancient hollow way

Still in use as a public footpath this hollow way was possibly eroded by the hooves of cattle and pack animals over many centuries, possibly starting before the iron age.
