I enjoyed The Hepworth but I must say that I expected more of Hepworth's work to be displayed plus more evidence of her work in the surrounding grounds.If feeling in need of a bit of culture the dual visit I've suggested could be just what the doctor ordered.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77217432497723615522012-02-29T15:42:39.569+00:002012-02-29T15:42:39.569+00:00Is the Hepworth worth a drive up from Leicestershi...Is the Hepworth worth a drive up from Leicestershire?

Do you know if Richard had slightly neanderthal Celtic facial features by any chance? Pronounced brow, deep set eyes, thick jaw? If so there could be a family connection. Regarding my "time setting", is it like a microwave setting?

Okay Hepworth certainly is a good Yorkshire name but as I have told you before - Booth is probably of Irish origin as suggested by the name of one of Ireland's leading poets - Seamus O'Booth.<br />HELEN "Riding" is an old Anglo Saxon word which I understand means simply "a third".
