tablets of stone

gravestones in the churchyard at St Annes, Baslow, in the Peak District.

 

There has been a church here since King John’s reign, but nothing is left of that original building. This is a new church built on the same site, the oldest remaining part being the tower and spire, built in the 1200s.

 

By the door there is a glass case containing a whip. Unbelievably, there used to be official ‘dog whippers’ who were paid to whip dogs out of church services during the 1600s and 1700s... (!)..
