Autumnal farmland It&#039;s the end of August and there is already a look of autumn in this landscape. It&#039;s not been a very sunny month but it has been dry with little rain which is evident here. This field had been grassland earlier this year and had been cut for silage.

Autumnal farmland

It's the end of August and there is already a look of autumn in this landscape. It's not been a very sunny month but it has been dry with little rain which is evident here. This field had been grassland earlier this year and had been cut for silage. For a similar view in late spring in early June see SO8238 : Farmland at Longdon Hill End.

Eastington Hall

Eastington Hall is a Grade I listed medieval manor house near the site of the deserted medieval village of Eastington. Here the house is viewed from the road at Longdon Hill End. The Brook and Pevsner guide describes the manor house as 'a splendid large timber-framed house, the result of four or more distinct building phases.' The core of the manor is a late 13th century hall remodelled around 1500 probably for William Brugge (or Bridges). The house is privately owned. The Tate Gallery website refers to Eastington Hall as one of the locations works of art were stored during WWII to protect them from bombing. Link to Historic England description Link

Looking more like a house, this is actually an attractive timber-framed barn which I last photographed in 2007 SO8337 : Barn to the north of Coneyburrow Hill.
