Fay Godwin

Bob told me there was an exhibition of Fay Godwin's at the Parsonage, Haworth so visited that this morning. The exhibition was 'Elmet' which was the follow on from her earlier 'The Remains of Elmet' that was first published in 1979 and combined her photography with Ted Hughes' poetry. All the photography was shot within a fifteen mile radius of Haworth. Elmet, according to Fay Godwin, was the last Celtic kingdom in England and covered the area of the upper reaches of the River Calder.

The Parsonage Museum was strictly 'no photography' and when I was there the ratio of Japanese to British must have been about 20-1
