The Old Cottage, Lilleshall

Beneath the mainly roughcast on some walls and infill panels lies a 17th century, timber-framed cottage, albeit with a series of more recent alterations and extension. It was Grade II listed Link

Limekiln Bank house, Lilleshall

The 19th century brick walls obscure much of what is actually a 17th century timber-framed cottage, although some of that structure is apparently visible in the northern gable end. It was extended and heightened at the same time that the walls were built. The house was Grade II listed Link

& Link

in 1983.

Crossroads, The Humbers

A field on the edge of town - how long will it remain a field. Here because of a road closure elsewhere. There is nearly always a road closure.

St Michael's & All Angels church in Lilleshall

The far right hand end, or eastern section looks old. Could be Saxon.

Nice village amenity.

Approaching the monument above Lilleshall village

At this point I don't know what the monument is for or to. Could be a war memorial I ponder, or to those lost in a particular conflict...or to an event, like the death of Queen Victoria, or the turn of a new century. It looks about 100 to 150 years old and seems to shout Victorian. Anyway, a nice approach. And I am sure I will find out about it when I get there.
