I was once, as a child, put into the stocks at this castle, where a possible ancestor was held awaiting for trial as a witch. In 1844 this Essex town was hit by an earthquake Dee xx |

How about this one When Beatrix Potter left almost all of her property to the National Trust in 1943 her legacy helped ensure that the beauty of this place and the practice of fell farming remained unspoiled to this day. Dee x |
