Buckle Yeat is situated in the village of Near Sawrey. The name Buckle Yeat is over 300 years old and it means fasten the gate.In years gone by the gate referred to would be the gate to the village. Near Sawrey was once home to the children's writer Beatrix Potter about whom the movie Miss Potter is all about. Hill Top Farm where she wrote many of her stories is a museum and is open to the public.

Not a great day on the weather front, rain most of the day. This made taking any pictures a problem. I got this picture sent by the wonder of today's technology all the way from Santa Barbara California, it is the old vicarage and it was taken from outside Buckle Yeat across Post Office Meadow, it came with a request for information about the building which is that it was the Vicarage and is now privately owned and has been converted into a number of flats.
