A very enjoyable gallery - certainly not the sort of landscape and village life that I'm likely to see here. I hope our ABC picks up the BBC's Village SOS programme - should be interesting. How extensive is that flat landscape of Kinder Scout? - not sure I'd want to get lost there. I particularly enjoyed 4, 6, 9, 13 and 15 - and those wood carvings on the church pews.
