5 in 5 April and Snap - Jack and Jill Hill





This month my 5 in 5 photographs come from a visit to the village of Kilmerston.  The village is home to the nursey rhyme Jack and Jill Hill went up the Hill -


Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.











At the top of the hill is the village primary school where the well is located.

    What interesting photos Barbara, I never knew that the rhyme was associated with an actual place. Thank you for enlightening me and for joining in this month, I found your post really interesting.

    I did a walk around there once . I was quite excited about seeing the hill but it didn't really live up to my hopes. I had imagined a hill more like Glastonbury hill with a well on the top! Great idea for snap.
