Churchyards and gardensPhotographed in January 2004 |
Photos left and below: The section of the bar walls between Bootham
Bar and Monk Bar is one of the most attractive, because of the varied
gardens of the Minster precincts,
viewable from the walls. These photos were taken during walks in January
2004. There are no flowers visible in the gardens, but the structure of
some of the more formal gardens is still attractive even in the winter
months. |

January is witch-hazel time. These fine specimens were chanced upon during my wanders on 21/01/04. The yellow-flowered shrub is part of the Foss-side planting by the Coppergate centre. The other witch-hazel, an orange-flowered variety, lives in the Museum Gardens, by the museum entrance. |
