More about this scene

The famous church at Hawkshead sits on a little knoll above the village. William Wordsworth's 'snow white church upon her hill' lost its white rendering in 1876. In the view is Colthouse hamlet, tucked into the foot of the western side of Claiffe Heights; to the right we can see part of the roof of the Grammar School attended by Wordsworth, and also the end of Esthwaite Water.
