However, I've always wanted a dovecote, no I don't live in a grand setting either but they are very romantic (perhaps I could have a mini one!). It all looks beautiful.<BR/>KimxRagged Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339985100168927169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-12089843108595797832007-06-08T01:27:00.000+01:002007-06-08T01:27:00.000+01:00Lovely post Rowan.

The Elizabethan Manor house is beautiful, I wonder if Elizabeth ever slept there.<BR/>She seems to have slept in a lot of places if you believe the guide books. I agree with you, the topiary garden is perfect there, as it needs a house and garden with the right proportions to show it off properly. The church, what can I say. I will just drool. I am a fanatic,(tho' not especially religious,) they have a real attraction for me, the older the better.<BR/>Thank you, I did enjoy this..<BR/>xoSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-44093748591267469892007-06-08T00:56:00.000+01:002007-06-08T00:56:00.000+01:00Rowan,I like looking at topiary gardens also.

I could never have them because I've neither the foritude or the patience to keep them up.<BR/>Thanks for the detailed photos and description of the church. As you know old churchs are a favorite of mine...the older the better. I wonder if I was a medieval priest in a previous life. ;-)<BR/>relrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030572981830789370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-14461150829483554392007-06-07T23:33:00.000+01:002007-06-07T23:33:00.000+01:00All beautiful photographs.
