Your Best Church Shots

Newlands Church, Little town in The English Lake District.

The hamlet of Little Town has been made famous as the setting by Beatrix Potter for the story of Mrs Tiggy Winkle. In the summer of 1901, Beatrix Potter was staying at nearby Lingholme on the shores of Derwentwater and often invited the Vicar of Newlands Church and his family to tea. On these occasions Lucie Carr – the vicar’s young daughter used to play with Beatrix Potter’s pet hedgehog. Thus the idea for the character of Lucie in “The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle” was born. The story was dedicated to Lucie Carr by Beatrix Potter “For the real little lucie of Newlands” and includes several illustrations that clearly depict the area around Little Town.
