More about this scene

This remote church was visited by the writer Baring-Gould. The eccentric Reverend Hawker told him he found it a blessed retreat from the winds. 'Look - without the church - there is the restless old ocean thundering with all his waves, you can hear the roar from here. Look within - all is calm.'

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I have many fond memories of The Bush Inn and the adjacent hall where we used to have dances and events in the 1950s. I returned to visit The Bush about 5 years ago and when I walked in (40 years on) the lady behind the bar recognised me and called me by my first name...amazing.
My mum was born up the road, part of the Rogers family, very nice Bush Inn.
