Langar, 25th June 2017

Dave C led fourteen ramblers on this ecclesiastical walk from St Andrew's Church in Langar to two churches in Colston Bassett and back for Lunch In the Garden at Brenda's in Barnstone.
St Andrew's Church, Langar
St John's Church, Colston Bassett was erected in 1892.  A local legend claims a boulder lying in the churchyard is a meteorite, but it has been identified as cinnabar (the common ore of mercury) probably from Peru.

Colston Hall - a Grade 2 listed buiding dating back to 1704
St Mary's Church, Colston Bassett stands prominently on a site known to originate from Norman times


Recent addition to the landscape, Langar Solar Park, owned by Nottingham Community Energy


Linseed field - a pleasant change from rape
Lunch in the Garden - thanks again Brenda for laying on this splendid annual feast
