Tissington Well Dressing

Many thanks to the parents that accompanied the children on our afternoon visit to Tissington. The children were a pleasure to spend the afternoon with and as this was my first Tissington Well Dressing kept me updated with their vast knowledge of the area and the Well Dressing procedures. Thanks also to Margaret who led the visit and knew the longest hilliest way to Tissington!

Yours sincerely
