The Vicars' Close

excellent pic compo

wish you a serene day!

Thank you so much Annemarie.

An interesting find there Keith,...28 Vicars,. I wouldn't think the police were needed very often to sort out drunken singing and bottle throwing parties... :-)
Cheers from Dj.

:-)))
Well - you never know what vicars get up to on their off work days.

Thank you David..............but according to my research, the Vicars were often in trouble for things like that :-)))

Lovely buildings; well captured Keith.

Thank you Jaap.

It reminds me a little bit of Wells Cathedral, but somewhat gentler. I bet that wisteria will look fabulous when it eventually opens.

While I was googling this Vicars' Close one for Wells came up as well. The Wells one is far grander than this one!

Thanks for dropping in Amelia.

How lovely it looks with a glimpse of the beautiful Cathedral behind the pretty row of houses, which are much sought after nowadays. The hedges are very neatly trimmed and your sky is beautiful Keith.

Thank you Rosa............I'm pleased you like it.

Sehr schön,wie diese Frontseite an das Dach angepasst wurde lieber Keith,eine sehr schöne Aufnahme von diesen Häusern und auch schön ragt dieser schöne Kathedraleturm raus :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni.............much appreciated.

Pretty row of houses in a composition very well framed, Keith!

Thanks Judite.

Nice framing and an architecture which I like very much !

I'm pleased you like this one Ulrich.........thank you.

J'aime bien cette photo. Elle me rappelle beaucoup de souvenirs j'ai passé ma vie professionnelle dans un ancien couvent .Les moines y vivaient en autarcie. Ils sont partis et la chartreuse a été acquise par le département.. En 1917 c'est devenu un hôpital militaire Américain. Aprés la guerre on y a crée l'hôpital psychiatrique départemental.L'essentiel de ma vie professionnelle a été en ce lieu chargé d'histoire. Certains aspects de ta photo me le rappellent.

I'm pleased that is brought back some memories for you Jean Paul..........good ones I hope! That's one of the joys of photography for me.

Thanks for sharing your memories with me.

Belle composition!

Thank you very much Jean-louis.

Wow thanks for explaining the meanings behind the name of the close. At least the church considered giving the choral a roof over their heads

You're welcome Jenny.............I always try and give a little history if I can.

Prachige foto met uitstekende compo

Thank you so much Fred.

Must be interesting to see how private people rehab it inside

I suspect they look pretty good inside Isabel.............this is a very wealthy area of the town. One of the cottages sold for over £1miilion a few years back.

Eine sehr schöne Bildkomposition, Keith!
Die Kathedrale habe ich vor etwa 15 Jahren besucht und noch gut in Erinnerung.
