The Dogs ~ Wincanton

The Dogs ~ Wincanton
HFF everyone!............Taken on my walk close to home, one of the more historic buildings in the town. ~ The Dogs, Wincanton, was built around 1650. The name 'The Dogs' refers to two stone greyhounds, which were previously used as finials on the gateposts, but these have since disappeared. The house was largely rebuilt in the 1740s by Nathaniel Ireson, but is one of the few buildings in the town known to predate a serious fire in 1707. William of Orange slept in one of the bedrooms for at least one night during the 'Glorious Revolution' in 1688.

A beautiful house Rosa............and very well captured. I love the colours and detail, especially in the roof and the front wall. I also like the trees with just a few autumn leaves hanging on to the last!

HFF to you..........I'm guessing you would have posted this before the outage! It's great to be back on IP again. I've missed everyone's photos.

Have a great weekend - I'm assuming you're in Tier 2 like us - but at least we can meet up with people, even if it's outside. I hope you'll be able to make some decent arrangements for Xmas.
3 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you for your kind comments Keith. I lived in the same street as this house 18 years ago and always loved it...mine was much more modest!

Yes I had planned to post it before the outage, but very pleased to be able to do it now. I missed everyone too....oh and the pictures ;-)

Yes in Tier 2 but I shall carry on as I have been, which is very careful and keeping to the rules. Christmas will be spent with Lyndsay, Lee and Sophie and hopefully boxing day with Michelle, if the rules are made clearer and it is allowed. I hope you will be able to see your family over the festive season.

All the best & take care, Rosa.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Good to hear you are well Rosa. We'll be spending Christmas about a mile away with my oldest daughter Kerry and a close family friend. My other daughter, Cara will be going to the Forest of Dean (Covid permitting) with the grandchildren, her partner and her partner's daughter. They've rented a log-cabin in the middle of nowhere and are hoping for snow!
3 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Not too far to go then Keith. I'm sure you'll have a great time. The log cabin sounds wonderful! I have always had a dream of being in a cottage on Exmoor in the snow! I haven't heard the forecast, but we don't often get snow at Christmas, but my fingers will be crossed for them :)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Thank you Andy. It was once renamed, The Old House, but is still known as The Dogs and I think that's what it is officially called now. There is a new walkway opposite, which I didn't know about until my Sunday walk, but it means that for the first time, I have been able to photograph the house from the front. Yes, great to be back. Take care and have a good weekend.

HFF-Rosa interessant huis-ik ben blij dat ik weer met je praten kan-het lijkt wel of ik me opnieuw moet aanpassen zolang was IP weg-groet en blijf gezond.en pas nog goed op deze maand--vanaf 1 januari krijgen wij hier een vaccinatie prik--alle 60 plussers

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Fred Fouarge club
Yes it's good to be back with Ipernity friends Fred.
I'm sure sure when I will get the vaccination, but hopefully next year enough people will be sensible and have it, so that we can all get back to normality.
Take care and stay well. Rosa.
