Unfortunately we also came to this gate after visiting the church...it is best to cancel all walks to and from St. Nicholas Church because you always end up on private property

lovely pub

The pub is busy, but I wandered past. The church and church yard in Salehurst are worth a visit.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Sandhurst Cross is dedicated, is – alongside Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. His memorial day, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child in Germany – and far beyond. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots – which had of course been carefully polished – in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to also put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
