I'm interrupting the posts about Kent for a new section of sketches recently done on my trip to the north of England. Over the next week or so I'll be posting sketches of:

• The Rill Garden at Wollerton Old Hall Garden, near Market Drayton in Shropshire
• The view from Sutton Bank - the finest view in Yorkshire according to 'James Herriot'
• Fountains Abbey - part of a world heritage site in North Yorkshire
  
• Views from Rievaulx Terrace, North Yorkshire
  
• The centre of Helmsley in Ryedale, North Yorkshire
  
• The ruins of the cistercian Abbey of Rievaulx, North Yorkshire
  

[10th June 2007: Revised/Updated ] This summary post will be updated as blog posts are posted to this blog.

Sketches have been transferred from Making A Mark. These include:

• Staffordshire: Drawing people and delaying the cream tea (13th April 2006) - a visit to Biddulph Grange Gardens - and its tea room.
  
• Cheshire: Sketches from Tatton Park (18th April 2006) - two double page sketches of scenes from this 50 acre garden set in a 1,000 acre deer park.

Both of the above posts on this blog now include links to the places mentioned in the blog post.

[2nd November 2007: Revised/Updated] More sketches from the North of England:

• Cheshire: Early Morning Light in Cheshire (1st November 2007) - sketching the views and the early morning light - including a sunrise - from windows in my cousin's home.
