David wanted to see it too - he appreciates architecture and carpentry etc a lot more these days. yes thatched would have been an even more wonderful sight :) Right pain about church tbh :( Honestly if I was on my own I would never reach destination as would be stopping at every church I saw! So many good churches in that area too.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-64824690159977041442022-05-28T11:53:03.602+01:002022-05-28T11:53:03.602+01:00Sorry you missed going inside the church.

I love the brickwork and the slate roof. What a sight that would be if the roof was thatched.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-6848765725467874752022-05-27T19:02:10.284+01:002022-05-27T19:02:10.284+01:00Bovey Belle - Thanks so much.

I didn't dare go in the church - B not keen on diversion to be honest so didn't push my luck. Son really wanted to see it as he loves old barns and the history. <br />The Worcester by pass will be great when finished but chaos round there atm as for the closure :( How stupid to divert all through Worcester city centre!!! Next time if go home weekend will have to be Tennbury Wells and Droitwich way.<br /><br />Billy Blue Eyes. Thanks so much. I found a local tithe barn to us at home but sadly that too has long gone. Houses now on the site :( The one at Leigh Court was very impressive though.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-88433995354326494202022-05-27T18:45:45.297+01:002022-05-27T18:45:45.297+01:00Looks like you have an excuse to revisit now you m...Looks like you have an excuse to revisit now you missed the church. I think the tithe barn on our village was the longest in Great Britten at one time time it was pulled down, what is there now gives a little idea ast how bit it was.

What a shame you didn't go to the church too - I might have have pointed out how that would save fuel as you wouldn't need to visit it again (for a while!)<br /><br />Sorry you got snarled up in all the Worcester traffic. We had to go there on Wednesday and the road signage was DIRE. All we could find was the M5 sign (and we were looking for the A38), off that road.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
