The Ramblers Lament

We Ragged Ramblers are on the whole a happy go lucky lot of curmudgeons, but we do get bothered when our rambles are barred by locked doors and gates. There is nothing more frustrating than arriving at a church only to find door looked and either no mention of a key holder, or even worse a frosty reception from said key holder when we ask to be allowed to look in THEIR church.

It is unfortunately not an uncommon complaint within the Learned Society, but even a seasoned antiquarian like myself was surprised on a visit to the ancient Norman Motte and Castle remains at Bishop Stortford this very day - For they too were locked away with a sign telling me that I needed to contact a specified key holder












I could wait for a tour of the ruins, but we Ragged Ramblers are solitary in nature and very rarely do we congregate in numbers greater than three, so no rambling for me today.
