St Mary's Church, Bunny

The present church dates from the 14th century. It was restored in 1718 for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. There were also later restorations in 1890–1891 and 1911. The initial 14th-century build was temporarily halted by the spread of the plague into the village in 1350. The present building has developed over several centuries and is now Grade I listed.

Church Street, Bunny

Recreating this 'First' for the square Link . It turns out to be like one of the 'spot the changes' puzzles. I've spotted 5, none of which are very obvious, apart from the boarded up window on the Old School.

The public footpath diverts off the mine track through a kissing gate onto Wysall Lane.

Bunny Hall and Church

Viewed from Wysall Road on Windmill Hill. Taken from almost exactly the same viewpoint as Link but on a much clearer day. I was surprised just how far away some of the visible features are. The large house on the skyline 'attached' to the tower of the hall is Hopwell Hall Link some 10 miles distant.

This has probably been left here to prevent off-roaders using the bridleway.

Private, Nature reserve â Rancliffe Wood

The Rushcliffe Wildlife website comments on Rancliffe Wood as follows: "Understood to have been clear-felled during World War 1, it is now largely old coppiced Sycamore, but the ground flora indicates more ancient origins with Dog's Mercury widespread. There is a sign saying "Nature Reserve" but it is in fact not managed well in this regard.” The term 'reserve' is more likely to relate to the rearing of game birds. The wood is also apparently used for paintballing although there is no indication of this at the gate.

Blackcliffe Hill

Halfway between Bradmore in SK5831 and Plumtree in SK6133 Blackcliffe Hill rises to 72 metres above sea level and dominates the surrounding farmland. The road changes from Plumtree Lane, Bradmore to Bradmore Lane, Plumtree as it tops the hill.
