Truly ancient clapper bridge at #Postbridge, #Dartmoor over the East Dart River. The first known record of it is in 1380, but it's believed to be much older. 😮 #clapperbridge
The Remarkable Pinwill Sisters book by Helen Wilson. A photo of a carved angel, a #VioletPinwill speciality, on the cover.
Yes, Helen Wilson is very much the expert on the #Pinwill sisters. Her book & gazeteer of churches to visit is superb (link above).
I would strongly recommend #Postbridge church for children & the young at heart. It is great fun to search for all the different carved animals.
Three penguins carved in relief.

A praying angel seems to supporting the end of the carved wooden altar rail. It is typical of the work of the Devon woodcarver Violet Pinwill.

The old (and not sold old) bridges at Postbridge. It’s fun trying and trying until you find a different composition in such heavily visited locations #dartmoor #dartmoornationalpark #postbridge
