Weather vane, Berwick St John
For centuries weathervanes have kept people in touch with the elements, signalling those shifts in the wind, which bring changes in the weather. This simple device has grown into a charming English tradition which can say something about their owners, adding interest to the landscape.

Caravan, Berwick st John
It's not very often that you find one of these vans in a field. I believe the owner is involved in a small steam fair once a year.

Sign on gate, Berwick st John
Dog owners are always so angry when they hear it is legal to shoot their dog if they worry sheep and yet no thought seems to be given to the aborted lambs or the savaged/dead sheep, that can often be the result of sheep worrying.

Lych Gate to Church Yard at Berwick St John
Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial.

Snowdrops, Berwick St John
Snowdrops in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church.
Although this attractive little flower symbolizes purity by its whiteness, it is widely regarded as an omen of death and should not be taken into a house where anyone is ill. It is dangerous indeed to take a snowdrop into any house, for even if no one is sick, a death will result in the family before the flowers next bloom. This belief probably came about because the snowdrop blooms only in the winter - a time when much sickness is about.
