More good stuff in Lyme Regis & environs

Fred and I set out yesterday to meet my friend Marie in Ottery St Mary (the village), stopping beforehand in Colyton to see the parish church and afterwards in Cullompton. Colyton’s St Andrew is the same vintage as Ottery St Mary (the church), but each has its own treasures and delightful features. The Ottery church has a working clock (pre-Copernican, i.e., based on earth being the centre of the universe) while the Colyton church has a fine Saxon cross uncovered in a tower wall after a fire in 1933.
Today Mum and I walked to town and visited several more studios open for the Arts Fest. Most of them have the artist available to chat with, sometimes while he or she is working. Here’s Laurence Anholt, illustrator of children’s books.
