Staveley Stroll

The stroll around Staveley (situated 4 miles north of  Kendal), starts with a view of the River  Kent which flows through the village. The smaller tributary, the River Gowan flows into the Kent nearby. 
A look in the other direction.
The Eagle & Child pub, and it was time for a beer. 
On one of the walls in the Eagle & Child were three old advertisements.  


Spotted on a wall of a building was this logo for the Cycle Touring Club.
What happened to bucket number one, I wonder? 
Staveley Post Office.
If there is time, a must visit! Highly recommended. 
A row of cottages.
The former Methodist Chapel, now a private residence.
The Sensory Garden. 
However, it had clearly been neglected. Look at the weeds.  

St James Church.
Unusual carvings on the Church door.
A look inside.
It was difficult to get a photo of this avoiding reflections. However, I am sure it will be of interest to our Canadian friends who look at North West Images on a regular basis. 
Finally, the Vicars of Staveley.
