Rowthorne Well Dressing 2018
We consider this village's Well Dressings the best designed in Derbyshire, and we see a lot!
The accompanying description reads...
"Our theme this year is inspired by the poem Aftermath by Siegfried Sassoon. Sassoon wrote Aftermath' in 1919. He had served in action in the woods at Mametz and, haunted by the guilt of the survivor, the question he repeatedly asks is of himself.
The "War to End All Wars" seems a hollow joke today and we simply pose the question once more, one hundred years on....HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YET?
Sadly, I think we all know the anser to that."
The entire poem is then quoted.
This Well Dressing remains in place until 29th July
