More about this scene

Externally, the Mountsorrel granite facing of the church gives it a hard, almost unwelcoming appearance. Most of the building work was carried out between 1863 and 1870, to the designs of Stevens and Robinson, a Derbyshire firm of architects. Internally, there is a mid 17th-century monument to Theophilus Cave, and one from the mid 18th century to Martha Utber.

The wooden boats in the picture belong to the riverside restaurant, out of shot to the right. As a teenager, in 1974, it was my job on a Sunday afternoon to hire these out. We did have a few people fall out of the boats, but no one complained. A warm brew and some towels was all it took to make things right.
