Hurley Hall  Douglas Hickman's Shell Guide to Warwickshire (1979) says: "Sombre Hurley Hall…is said to have been rebuilt in 1612, but from all appearances is Early Georgian. The home of Wildive Willington, one of Oliver Cromwell's henchmen, the house was used during the Commonwealth for local marriages."
Listed Grade II and dated to about 1720. Partly moated. Gardens, seen here, remodelled. The associated farm beyond (in SP2596) has been partly redeveloped as premises for rural businesses.

A harvested field near Cottage Farm  Judging by the coarseness and light colour of the stalks, this was a field of oilseed rape. Hipsley Lane on the left leads down to Hurley Hall.
The location of the high ground in the distance, right — one can only speculate.

Playground, Hurley Primary School The ornamental tree overhanging the wall is the 'golden' form of North American Locust Tree or False Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia'), widely planted in gardens and parks since its introduction in 1935. Confusion with the Carob, also known as the Locust Tree (Ceratonia siliqua), is unlikely unless climate change brings this Mediterranean native to our shores.

Brook End Farm near Foul End I agree with Rob Farrow, when he says that Brook End Farm is farther on towards Bentley on the OS map, but this farm has a sign which definitely says Brook End Farm.
