Parwich Bluebell Wood
Posted in Gardens, Photography on Sunday May 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
A few weeks ago, parwich.org published some photographs of the glorious daffodils in Dorothy L’s woodland garden. Alas, the daffs have gone over now and the onerous task of dead-heading is well under way. We have good news however. Dorothy’s woodland garden is looking more spectacular than ever. The bluebells are flowering and make a breathtaking [...]
Wigber Low

For those thinking about going on the History Society walk on Monday evening here are some snippets about this fascinating hill, that has been used by man for some five or so thousand years. The name Wigber probably means Wicga’ barrow or burial mound, Wicga being an Anglo-Saxon personal name. Low, also Anglo-Saxon, literally [...]

Posted in Roads on Thursday May 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
In yesterday’s comments, Rebecca observed: The last set of signs have a special place in my heart because Will, at a tender age, thought they read ‘Unsuitable for monsters’! Was this what you had in mind, Will….?
Wakes Week 2009
Posted in Wakes on Wednesday May 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We have recently had a few emails asking when Parwich Wakes Week begins this year. For those who don’t already know, the origins of local Wakes go back to well before the Reformation, growing out of each village’s celebration of their church’s patron saint’s day. The saints’ days have continued to be used to dictate [...]

For our penultimate traffic signs post (yes, the end is nearly in sight!), here’s the “No Through Road” sign at the top of Creamery Lane, just in front of Rathbone Croft. Is there a danger that traffic could unwittingly proceed beyond this point, only to get stuck further along the road?

Pushing The Boundaries In Maize-Growing

Just beyond the High Peak Trail railway bridge on the road to Pikehall, the following extraordinary sight greets you. The field is planted with forage maize.

Traffic signs of Parwich #20

Although the “Caution: Elderly People” sign has finally disappeared from Kiln Lane, there are a couple of remaining signs whose purpose has outlived the conversion of Rathbone Hall into a private residence. Here’s the first of them: a warning that beyond Gardener’s Cottage and the entrance to Rathbone Hall, there will be no further room [...]
