Olney


The town is as proud of its Shrove Tuesday races...


... as it is of John Newton and William Cowper...


... with this image among the Newton memorials in the Parish Church...


... this playfulness in the grounds of the Cowper Memorial Church.... 


... and Cowper's writing shed ('not much bigger than a sedan chair')


... alongside lace workers' ingenious light amplifying...


.. which gives rise to our phrase 'flash light'.
