In the grounds of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, lies the old West
Bretton Church. Ive been visiting the grounds at
YSP for many years now, and this is the first time I have ever seen the church! I must walk round with my eyes closed!!! What caught my eye on this visit was the lovely heart shapes on the gates.
The iron work railings are very special too.
The church is no longer used as they have built a new one in the centre of the village. This one was built by the owners of the house which also stands in the grounds -
Bretton Hall.
It wasn't open to look around, but it looked intriguing - I'll have to find out when they open it. More heart shapes caught my eye!
The graveyard was a riot of snowdrops.
How have I missed this in the past?

Lazy girl has finally checked the meaning of "snowdrop" into her dictionary..It's our "Bucaneve" which means "make a hole into the snow"..
Have a great week!

What gorgeous detais...worth taking note of such things - they make a place extra memorable! xxx
It's funny at the YSP there is so much to look at but you tend to stick to the same routes. Me and my pal used to visit every week with our boys. When they started full time school last September we went on our own and had a good walk, we saw allsorts of stuff we'd never seen before by getting off the beaten track. It's a wonderful, tranquil place isn't it ?

Ah, beautiful snowdrops - aren't they just the very best?
and ironwork - I do live it- and the heartshaped handle is just perfect.
Happy days,

Beautiful snowdrops. You are very lucky to have all these wonderful places to visit, you can never get bored!
Doesn't it make you smile to find something as everyday as a door latch looking so beautiful in it's simplicity.
