Norton sub Hamdon ~ Dovecote

That's a nice building and so well captured Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

Oooh, now that's much more recognisable as a dovecote! It's a really lovely shaped building with a beautiful roof and it looks really at home among the gravestones. A wonderfully detailed and clean image Rosa.

I really like the PiP too..............such gorgeous golden light contrasted with the hard shadows. The dovecote and the Church make a beautiful couple :-)

Yes you're right Keith, it is a more usual shape. I was surprised to see it in the churchyard but there is also an Old School House there as well.

Thank you for your very kind comments on both pictures. Much appreciated.

I am always fascinated by your SO old cimeteries, Rosalyn. I suppose that you can't see any name or dates on the tombs ...?
Beautiful and interesting picture !

Some stones you can read and some are partly readable Christiane. I do enjoy looking around them and quite humbling to read some of the inscriptions.
Thank you for your very kind words.

Schitterende opname en pip,Rosa.
Hartelijke groeten.......Frans.

Thank you very much Frans.
Best regards, Rosa.

SUPERB *********************

Thank you Marie-claire.

There are some really posh doocots in your neck of the woods, Rosa. Cheers, Joe

They must have been partial to pigeon pie Joe!
Cheers, Rosa.

A really good and clear capture Rosa and great to see the proximity with the church.

Thank you Jeff. Taken a few years ago now but a lovely village to visit.

Très belles photos . Nicole.

Merci beaucoup Nicole.

Another interesting building ! Thanks for showing, Rosa !

My pleasure Ulrich, thank you.

De toute Beauté et si bien présenté !!!!!

Merci beaucoup Danielle.

A lovely image of a 'proper' dovecote, Kinwarton is quite close to the church but not in the churchyard, there would have been a manor somewhere close because it was the fact that only the lord of the manor ate the birds although they ate everyones crops that caused trouble, I think this also happened in France

A very unfair period in history Peter. Maybe the French Revolution changed their minds a little!!
This is the only dovecote I have seen in a churchyard and the village is beautiful.

Hi Füsun,

Thank you so much for your interest and kind comments.

Best regards,
Rosa.

Great pair of shots Rosa. I especially like the composition of the second.

Thank you very much Doug. Taken a few years ago, but found these shots out when trying to tidy up photo folders!

Fantastic photography, Rosa! Beautiful details and a super inset too. I had to look up what a dovecote was, WOW! A roosting house for pigeons. How cool!

Thank you for sharing, I really like the architecture of this cute round building!

They likes their pigeon pies back in the day Janet ;-))
Thank you for your great comments.

Superb images in wonderful light Rosa,

Thank you Roger.

Excellent shot! I'm NOT going to tell again the story of my one enforced overnight stay in tbis village!

I remember it Andy :)
Have a good weekend.

It's always good to see something out of the archives, Rosa. Two very nice shots, and I particularly like the juxtaposition of the doocot with the church. Looks like an old postcard.

It certainly shows how time flies Amelia. I was quite shocked that this was taken in 2011.
Thank you for your very nice comments.

Great capture - thank you for sharing

My pleasure Ernest. Thank you for your kind comment.
