Church House, Bullinghope A 17th century box frame, extended and re-roofed in the early 19th century, I guess. A beautiful house in a delightful, if windy, rural location, but for how much longer as Hereford threatens to encroach.

Aconbury Court Has all the appearance of a Victorian vicarage, but the latest Pevsner assumes that its origin is monastic, connected to the adjacent nunnery church of St John the Baptist.
