Burton Ley Plantation

Withersfield: junction, signpost and stinkpipe This is where the lane from Great Wratting meets the road from Withersfield to Great Thurlow (right). The rusty stinkpipe has the usual sort of decorative cast-iron base and a wire cap (like a small steam locomotive's spark arrester), to stop birds nesting I imagine.

Little Wratting: across the Stour Valley A long view from a barley-field corner near Little Wratting church, taken on the cloudy last morning of June. The tower of Barnardiston church, about a mile and a half away, shows against the skyline woodland to the right of centre (above the foreground poppies) - perhaps more apparent to the bespectacled eye than it is in this photograph.
