Road into Carlton

According to Link

this is the most southerly example of the use of the viking-derived name Carleton (meaning free man). It indicates that this was as far south as the Vikings got. The River Ouse formed a boundary to the Viking influence.

Harrold House, High Street, Harrold

"A tall, symmetrical Victorian-Jacobean villa" as Pevsner puts it.

High Street, Harrold

This terrace of quite large Victorian houses represents yet another architectural style to be found in High Street. The picture was taken looking east towards Church Walk.

St Peter, Harrold

The tower dates from around 1290-1350 but the spire dates from any time thereafter to around 1530.

St Peter, Harrold

The main part of the church dates from different times in the C13. According to Pevsner the positioning of a lancet window at the far end of the chancel suggests that the latter was once longer than it is today.

North Bedfordshire countryside

This view is typical of the Jurassic Limestone country that is circumscribed by the circuitous course of the river Great Ouse between Pavenham and Odell. The woodland on the right is Green's Spinney.
