Pies from G. Morris and Sons were today’s porkie delight, to be sampled in Foxley Wood, once our woodland promenade had been completed: Heading off in a south westerly direction through the wood, eventually turning west along Common Lane towards Bawdeswell. Five red deer were spotted in the distance, along with the top of the 60,000-gallon
Bintree water tower. We stopped at the new (built 1953-55)
All Saints church for lunch. The old church had been
destroyed by a
Mosquito bomber during the war.
Next stop was for a pint of Adnams in The Old Workhouse, the only surviving pub in Bawdeswell. After a pleasant pint we had to leave this cosy pub and continue our walk on to the locked
St. Thomas church in Foxley, where a dubious
scratch dial was found by the priest’s door. Returning to the cars for Salmon roulades and Premium Orkney crab terrine on nairn’s rough oatcakes. The pies bursting with aroma when sliced, revealed a pleasant pink filling, complete with a little jelly. The outstanding feature of this pie was the very crisp and tasty crust. The filling had a good meaty texture and lightly spiced, so not delivering a big punch, the application of a little mustard complemented this pie and it romped home with a very healthy score of 7.9375 with a standard deviation of 0.62321. Shortcake completed the grazing. So a normalized score of 8 for G. Morris pies.
