Cotswold Holiday

Kelmscott, Great Coxwell Barn and Lechlade


 Another view from the window

 

 The attic rooms

 
     
A large loft was probably used by labourers on the estate. Steep stairs lead down 

 The view from the ground floor of the front garden

 and the brew house at the rear of the Manor

 The rear of Kelmscott Manor

 The privy in the corner of the walled garden

 with 3 seats, probably used in rotation through the year rather than for simultaneous use

 and the view from the privy back to the house

 which has a fine garden

 with lots of fruit

 including vines, though the grapes were small and bitter

 The west side of the house

 and the front

 with other buildings across the driveway  

 Cats playing on the wall

 

 The house is a short walk from the Thames, where we had our picnic

  Great Coxwell Barn near Faringdon, a National Trust property

  built about 1292 for the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire,

 

 The Court House

 

 

 

 

 The interior - perhpas not quite as impressive as Harmondworth, but still a great example of medieval craft. Grade 1 listed
    
  Lechlade Parish Church
