to explore, Johny's Wood, Fairy Glen, landmarks, Bowderstone, Stockley Bridge, Ashness
Bridge, and buildings, Moot Hall, High Lodore Farm, the church and school. |

Indonesian wax resist technique was used to build layers of colour for the sky, mountains,
woods and fields. Sequins highlight the water. Applique pictures finish the scene. |

notes:- |
The earliest known christian settlements here date from about 1200, but the first
indication of a church is a reference to Chapel Farm in 1615. Records say that Borrowdale
Chapel was consecrated in 1687. It was a chapel to Crosthwaite, but was granted a
churchyard for burials in 1765. There were major repairs about 1981. |
