Is it a bell tower?


Are the gardens in the foreground open to the public, and is the building on the same site?

Thanks JohnFilmer


I thought you would get more guesses on that one.


This one might be a real stinker.  This view is not on GSV so questions/clue might be needed unless someone recognises it.  No clues to start with.


Where is this photo taken from?

That’s the place JW. Over to you.


Also been known as Holborough House. A very nice property, there are some good sales details on line. Pay particular attention to the gas fired stove in the living room, fitted by some bunch of chancers about 15 years ago ::)


The little virgin and child statue at high level on the front fascia is quite a novel feature.


The cellars are probably as big as my house.

I’ll give another clue JW, if no further takers, then post the answer.


It is quite close to water, sometimes closer than usual...

Found it but I'll hold back for now as I've had a few entries lately.

OK, next one. I still can't steal images from GSV, so this one is from Geograph.
This impressive house has been known by two names, and additionally incorrectly named on maps.
Village location, church just out of shot behind buildings to the right.

It was captioned Iwade 4, which rather told us which church it was, although Diapason has managed to completely delete his post, leaving no incriminating evidence  8)
At his request I will post an item, very shortly I hope.

I will have to pass on this one, all attempts to delete the caption have failed.


You know the answer John, perhaps you would continue.

I certainly do, John!


I`m struggling to delete the caption but have, so far, failed to do so.

Diapason, you may wish to reconsider the title of your photo!
