I know it's not this one, which is mid 1920s.
Nor mine, which is 1970s agrarian with 90s additions
and some noughties cobbling-together.
If I tell you it used to have a polytunnel, connected to a tin-roofed verandah where a cow was milked, you might begin to get the idea. :eek:0 -
Oh .... so gathered here this evening are the not-so-posh NPs
Just had a phone call from my agent.... yes, my EA's still beavering away in his office. It's all still good to go, guesstimate ETA 5 weeks to go.0 -

If that hidden space really is a priest's hole then that bit of it must date back at least to the tudors.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

The bit built in 17xx (cannot remember whether 28 or 40 right now) is an alteration to an extention of the original bit.
The current working theory is that there was something here earlier than any ine could have guessed. We think anglo saxon, but not a house then, just that it was 'a place'. I don't like the name of our house, so when the extention is finished we might alter the name a bit to reflect the emerging picture of the history but keep the house name too, as it has been around a couple of hundred years or so.0 -

Yep. Also, if our flags in the cheese room are from sometjing grander, its most likely to have been the old priory *so while the victorian cheese room would not have been there, it seems something might have been not long after the dissolution.

I think parts of lir's place are very very old. The new bits are very old.
Mine's 1937 like silvercar's. The Second newest house we've owned.
This should be time for one of NDG's stories, if she were around.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
