|
A brief visit to the town on a glorious Sunday morning. Very colourful hanging baskets approaching the Town centre from Westgate Street. |

The town centre. The area around the monument looks like it is newly pedestrianised. |

|
Bright new flagstones. |

|
One of the 1914/18 war memorial panels. Note the name at the bottom is for a nurse. Very unusual to see a nurse remembered in this way. |

|
|
The very ornate and unusual church of St Mary Magdalene completed in 1542. |
|

Elaborate granite carvings around the entrance. |

Just about every stone is carved. |
