2011 : Drive to Fosse Combe Cottage OS Explorer 142 calls it a cottage but looks more like a farm to me. The hill in the background keeps itself in the shadow because it is in the next grid square.

2011 : Back Lane, Stoney Stratton Stoney Stratton is a village well blessed with farms, five in one grid square. Home Farm is at the end of Back Lane, about as far along as you can see, Heaven Farm is to the right of the camera position, Stratton Farm and Higher Farm are on High Street and Broad Street Farm is on Broad Street (where else?).

2011 : Farm buildings south of Westcombe Road Looking south between Stoney Stratton and Westcombe. Fosse Combe Gully is beyond the farm buildings with Manor Farm beyond that, a church tower is almost hidden by trees, visible in the enlarged version. Seems to be connected to the farm, possibly all that is left of a lost village.
