One of the many delightful buildings that are part of a rich tapestry of ages, styles and construction materials that make up the enigmatic Buckden Towers, Cambridgeshire 😍. And, as ever, if you look closely you’ll find traces of its former lime coating(s) 🤩

Holy Trinity Church in Elsworth, Cambridgeshire…not only an interesting church in a very pretty village, it also has the claim to fame of having the author of Thomas the Tank Engine books - W. Audrey - as one of its rectors! 🤩.More photos in thread below…

Beautiful Browne’s Hospital, Stamford, Lincolnshire 😍.Founded as a Bedehouse in the 15th century by a wool merchant, many of the buildings were in a bad state by the late 19th century & were demolished- the cottages were built at this time. More info:

A bit late, but thanks so much to everyone who wished me well when I was in hospital. Turns out I have a fairly rare autoimmune condition & associated kidney damage…so a long road ahead, but am feeling better than I did at least! Hoping to get out and about exploring again 😊.
I haven’t posted for ages as have been having an eventful time…after feeling rubbish for ages with various odd symptoms, I’ve ended up in hospital this last week and will be here a while longer. So, no more historic building pics etc from me for a bit.

A lovely bit of colour and flamboyance from our bougainvillea, which seems to be enjoying the summer heat of Cambridgeshire 😍 I’ve named her Gloria! 😄

Cambridge Leper Chapel, dating to the early 12th century. It looks fascinating and am looking forward to having a nose around inside at some point. (Photo credit to John, my lovely husband, who kindly took this for me as I’m not quite up to getting out and about yet).
