St.Peter's, Hartshead

Driving back home this afternoon I decided to stop off in Hartshead to blip the village church; St. Peter's is one of the oldest churches in the district and a place of worship is first recorded at the site in 1120.  The church’s greatest claim to fame is that Reverend Patrick Brontë, father of the famous literary sisters, was vicar here between 1810 and 1815.   The Luddite attack on Cartwright Mill at Rawfolds occurred during his tenure and his memoirs from that period gave his daughter Charlotte material for her novel “Shirley”.


As you see the snow has gone, the weather at the moment is milder and apart from a few showers we can't grumble. Thank you for the stars, hearts and kind comments left for my snow blip yesterday  -  what a difference a day makes when you live in the U.K.  :-))
