Goadby Marwood, Eaton and Eastwell, 17th April 2022

An excellent turnout (21) for Susie's 7½ mile walk from Goady Marwood to Eaton and Eastwell returning along the edge of the Harby Hills.  Fine weather and fine views.

Thirteenth-century St Denys Church, Goadby Marwood - the start.  This is one of the seven Ironstone Churches of Leicestershire - at Chadwell, Eastwell, Eaton, Goadby Marwood, Scalford, Stonesby and Waltham on the Wolds

What you did not see behind the church, Goadby Marwood Hall

Very recent memorial to the crew of a Lancaster bomber that came down midway between Goadby and Eaton in 1942.  See here for an interesting story of the search for the crash site by the Goadby Marwood History Group

Climbing over the watershed between streams that flow into the River Wreake from Goadby and those that flow into the Devon from Eaton
 
Distant view of Eaton - fine coffee stop
Lots of deadwood here - and some fallen trees

St Mary's Church, Eastwell - lunch
