Barns between Crowdecote and Longnor, Peak District

Acrylic on box canvas LC247

There are many old stone barns like these in the Peak District, some of them are sadly in a very neglected state due partly (I believe) to both the legacy of the 'poll tax' and the decline in the fortunes of hill farmers who should, in my opinion, be paid to be caretakers of such wonderful scenery.
