Chastleton House Moreton - In - Marsh, West Oxfordshire (By Kirky)

A real nice place out in the middle of nowhere, many walkers strolling & dog walkers, finding parking wasn’t to bad but was very muddy on the side of the road, I managed to find a TOAL & parking spot off the boundary of NT which also gave me a real good VLOS to Chastleton House, a couple of people passed me who said hello & was no problem at all, I’ll add a bit of history below it’s well worth a visit,

Minster Lovell Hall and Dovecote, West Oxfordshire (By Kirky)

Stumbled on this place on the way back from another location so thought I’d take a look, it’s a nice location but quite a few people coming & going so I could see it does get busy ( also being a weekend ) so be mindful of that imagine it’s quieter in the week, a few dog walkers in & around but I found a nice quiet spot just of the boundary to park & TOAL,
I will go back when I’m nearby it’s a nice place in all.


The picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, a 15th century Oxfordshire manor house, lie in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush. They include a fine hall, tower and nearby dovecote.

Minster Lovell Hall was built in the 1430s by William, Baron of Lovell and Holand - one of the richest men in England. It was later home to Francis, Viscount Lovell, a close ally of Richard III. After several changes of hands the hall was abandoned and eventually demolished in the 18th century, leaving the extensive remains that stand today.

St. Andrew’s Church, Farnham , Waverley (By Batloaf)

St Andrew’s Church is an outstanding, Grade 1 listed building with many points of historic, architectural and artistic interest. At every point in the church there are views, enclosed by arches, punctuated by delicate timber screens, and with an assortment of complex timber roof structures above.

One of the key features of St Andrew’s large churchyard is the grave of William Cobbett, Farnham’s famous political reformer and author.
This is situated right in front of the main north entrance to the church.

Towering over the churchyard is the refurbished tower which houses a recently refitted bell support frame, new bells and the restored 17th century clock.

The church’s stained glass windows include a magnificent work by the famous artist Augustus Charles Pugin. This was first exhibited at London’s Great Exhibition in 1851 and it depicts scenes from the life of Christ. 

On the south east side of the church resides a 15th century font, carved with sacred monograms and the symbols of the four Evangelists.

Nearby, in the south aisle, the Pulpit of oak and burr walnut resides. It dates from 1895 and a memorial to the Revd Philip Hoste, Rector from 1875-1893. Just opposite in the north aisle sits the Lectern, a large brass eagle given in 1874 in memory of Bishop Charles Sumner.

Mirehouse and Gardens, Allerdale (By D0c.Col)

Mirehouse Manor and Estate is located in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is known for its literary connections, beautiful gardens, and its scenic setting, caressing the water's edge of the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake.
The footpath starts at the manor and there is also a useful footpath link to the south, which avoids the risks of walking along the A591 and connects with the paths from Underskiddaw, Keswick and Braithwaite.
The Old Sawmill tearoom marks the start and end of many a fell walk as well as those visiting the Lake through the Mirehouse Grounds. From here you can reach the top of Dodd, Ullock Pike and Skiddaw.
The history of the building, that stands in the car-park opposite the entrance to Mirehouse, is outlined on the walls of the tearoom along with a display of old photographs and forest tools.
While the house is only open on occasional days, visitors are able to see its period furnishings, family portraits, and literary memorabilia during selected periods throughout the year. Although there is a pay carpark opposite the house there is a layby just down the road that is free and providing your early or late enough in the day is not crammed with fell walkers cars!

The house is privately owned but public paths are available from the lane leading up to the house, which is open to the public at sheduled events throughout the year.

All Saints Church, Godshill, Isle of Wight (By Batloaf)

Here people have worshipped for about a millennium. Before that it was a major pagan holy site, perhaps going back further thousands of years. The island was the last part of England to be converted to Christianity (C7) and we know a stone church was built here in the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-66).

Legend tells how the builders started to erect a church at the bottom of the hill only to find the stones repeatedly miraculously transported to the top. This it seemed was where God wanted the church and so that is where they built it. 

One of the features of this church is that, as you can see, it is a double church. The north church belonged to the parish; the southern church was for the workers at nearby Appuldurcombe Priory.
In the middle arches are slots where a wooden partition separated the two. The priest’s door, usually in the south wall, is therefore in the north wall.
