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.

Horns Inn, Holmesfield One of 5 pubs in this place that's possibly too small to count as a village. (There used to be 6 if the Robin Hood, closed over 10 years ago and by the roadside a little further to the west were counted.)

One is now a Thai restaurant. This one is being gutted. Watch this space. It's to become housing by renovation of the barn and pub, with more houses in the car park, see; <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://planapps-online.ne-derbyshire.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=NML7XBLIKL200" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://planapps-online.ne-derbyshire.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=NML7XBLIKL200">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
