The Old Rectory, Raithby What caught my eye was the bewilderingly wonky oriel window above the front-door.

This item seems to be the first on Geograph to show the rectory, perhaps because the house is well tucked-away among trees.  The location can be seen top-left in one of Chris's excellent aerial photos: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4440817">TF3084 : Old field systems at Raithby: aerial 2015</a>
