Winthorpe Rack (Track)

Riverside track which is following a sharp bend of the River Trent as it progresses steadily north. Today was a mild January afternoon but another named storm (Isha) was moving in.

Grassland by the River Trent

Although the river can't be seen here there is a view from The Trent Valley Way (here) between Holme and North Muskham on the western bank where the tower of St Wilfrid's Church can be seen. The two communities were as one until a catastrophic flood on or around 1600 changed the river course and severed the two villages.

Free-range pig farming at North Muskham

Information received from the farm manager (who lives in the house pictured): This field is part of a 1000 sow breeding unit; the photo shows the good welfare standards good pig producers like to keep.

Flooded road near Holme

Holme means island and at the moment it is almost that. The roads from Langford and Winthorpe are just dryish ribbons between flooded fields.

St.Giles' church, Holme, Notts.

Step back in time to a perfect unspoilt church thanks to a 15th century wool merchant and the location of Holme - on a road that leads only to the River Trent. There has been a church here since c1160 and the tower looks c1300, but it is the work paid for by wool merchant John Barton in c1485 that makes this church so important. Barton and his wife lie in a tomb showing them in life and below a 'memento mori' depicting an emaciated corpse ... a common fashion of the 15th century ! Medieval bench ends and window glass survive in a marvellous church.

Nan Scott's Chamber

Above the south porch of St.Giles' church is a room known as 'Nan Scott's chamber' - local legend says that Nan Scott sought refuge here during the great plague of 1666 and emerged to the outside world to find most of the village dead and buried.
