Dist:0.3km<br/>This is part of a group of houses which appear to have been developed from a farm. Note the row of holes on the front of the closest building which appear to be the remains of an old dove-cote. The 'front' of this house is the end of what was once a large barn which had its main opening on the road to the right of this picture.
