Well, today was the scavenger hunt in the village of Harlaxton.  It is a quaint little village.  I will include pictures below.  We started at the cemetery that is on the same property as the church.  This is very common in many areas in England.  Students had to find various houses, structures, statues, etc., in Harlaxton and take pictures of them.  Finally, they had to find a tombstone in the cemetery that had a date prior to 1800.  It isn't that difficult.  Although, some of the older stones are unreadable. 

When the students came back we talked about the aspects of tourism that might motivate someone to come to a place like Harlaxton.  The culture of a small town, the local architecture which dates back hundreds of years, genealogy, visiting family and friends, etc., could be reasons why someone might choose to come to this area and visit this small and beautiful town.

Below are some pictures from the village.  The walk is a short one and it is very beautiful.

This is actually inside the church.  These individuals died 270 years ago.

 

Beautiful stained glass.

 

 

The church from back to front.  Stunning.

 

A very unique grave marker.  Falling apart a bit.  It was from the mid 1800s.

Just a beautiful, old home.
