Edith Holden's Bellflowers

The Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady
July 21st 1906  
Cycled to Baddesley and walked from there to Balsall Temple.






On page 100 she has a picture of the Giant Campanula that she found there, it is still flowering by the brook on July 15th 2013 just as it was when Edith went there in 1906.
