Milton Abbas

The other Dorset chapel of St Catherine is at Milton Abbas, of course, and I and my mum were there last week. I was so glad she was able to make it all along the woodland path to the hilltop from where you can look down at the Abbey in the valley, as was she. The chapel is usually locked these days, but there are signs that it's being better cared for: the windows are freshly re-leaded and covered by new shiny black grilles. Supposedly the School estate is celebrating the anniversary of Capability Brown who laid out the grounds by, among other works, making a proper path to the chapel from the abbey, though there is no sign of that yet.
