The beautiful Yorkshire village of HAWORTH surrounded by the Yorkshire Moors, made famous by the Bronte Sisters. Charlotte Bronte who wrote the classic novel Jane Eyre, lived at the parsonage here in Haworth where her father was the local rector of the local church. The people in the picture are stood on the church steps. If you ever had the pleasure of visiting Haworth it is like going back in time. SCROGGLING of the HOLLY is a local tradition and theme day, a group of people act out and dress in traditional victorian outfits and a Horse and Cart carries three of the children who are taking part, up the steep cobbled street, followed by a parade of chldren and adults in dress, then followed by the visitors and tourists. At the top they tell a story and hold up an enormous Key which represents the key to the church. SANTA makes an appearance and he throws sweets to the children. It was raining most of the day, taken two weeks ago. Another photo of three of these children gave me the idea for the Victorian Christmas that I painted and was my last upload. All comments very welcome and thanks for taking a look. I wish you a good weekend. Alan
