Visit the swing café in the churchyard to see the old yew tree that held the swing believed to have inspired RLS to write his poem The Swing. A walk with Robert Louis Stevenson Looking – glass River Smooth it slides upon its travel, Here a wimple, there a gleam – O the clean gravel! O the smooth stream! Sailing blossoms, silverfishes, Paven pools as clear as air – How a child wishes To live down there! We can see our coloured faces Floating on the shaken pool Down in cool places, Dim and very cool; Till a wind or water wrinkle, Dipping marten, plumbing trout, Spreads in a twinkle And blots all out. See the rings purse each other; All below grows black as night, Just as if mother Had blown out the light! Patience, children, just a minute – See the spreading circles die; The stream and all in it Will clear by and by.
