This one is for Bill Phillips.

Many Peak District villages continue the practice of 'well dressing' which has been attributed to the time of the Black Death in England in the late 1340's but is thought to go back to pagan times. These days they are done to satisfy the tourists.

The dressings are made by attaching about inches of wet clay to a prepared wooden board. The design is then pricked out on the clay and then petals, leaves and various other items can be stuck on the clay.

Apparently many people in the villages get involved....They would need to as there must be a huge amount of man hours going in to the preparation of these things!

They last about a week before the clay starts to dry and the petals fade and fall off.
