(Not Busman’s Honeymoon, I don’t like the mystery in that one.) Having just finished Gaudy Night, I am sorry that I criticized Peter for pestering Harriet to marry him.

This time around, the normal thing happened, which is that I grabbed it to read while I was brushing my teeth, became addicted, and ended up reading all three Vane-Wimsey books. Tuscan Chicken Stew - Gluten Free Recipe, Crowd-Si.Poor old Have His Carcase! I read it in a bad temper in 2009 and wrote a terse little post about it that didn’t come close to giving it its due.Sunrise Photos, Christmas Tree, Waiting for Spring.Have His Carcase, Lord Peter Wimsey, Anglophile Fr.Flannel Baby Blanket with Satin Edge, Piglet.Best Omelette Recipe, Hemel Hempstead - Anglophile.News Flash!! Lucy Arrived - Newborn Pic.Homemade Natural Vegan Soaps for Spring.I am as sure as I can be that we have now got the correct location but would appreciate your views. There are photos online from the 1930s and 1960s showing he same rock being much taller at one end. However THE ROCK where the body lay was not seen but a bit of googling found that it was known as Pinnacle Rock. The location is Holywell Bay, near Newquay in Cornwall and those huge rocks are known as Gull Rocks.

I may not have been so aware had I not seen the photo on your blog showing them in the background behind Harriet Vane. IMDB lists several filming locations in Yorkshire but not the beach scenes where the smuggling and ship wrecking happens.Īs soon as I saw the huge rocks coming out of the sea, referred to as the Grinders in the programme I knew this was THE BEACH from 'Have His Carcase'. I was about to post on this site when just this week the BBC showed a new adaptation of Jamaica Inn starring Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil in Downton Abbey). It is on the sea front and known as 'The Belmont' I do know and have been to the location for the exterior of the 'Resplendant Hotel' which I came upon by chance in Sidmouth, Devon. I have been to Lulworth Cove and after reading your blog I searched maps and nearby beaches online and thought it might be a neighbouring beach as Lulworth doesn't have the huge rocks seen in 'Have His Carcase'. I once searched and found the answer but of course I didn't make note of it and when looking again could not find it. I was so pleased to find your blog about 'Have His Carcase' as I too had wanted to know the exact location of the beach.

Wimsey have his carcase
