Wisteria Cottage with Cobstone Windmill on the hill behind. Turville, Buckinghamshire
Part of a row of 17th century cottages facing the church.
The enormous leaning chimney is from a 'chair leg drying oven' according to British Listed Buildings. A reminder that the Chiltern Hills and their seemingly endless beech woodlands were the centre of the English wooden chair industry.
I should image that is a cottage of very low ceilings and challenging sloping floors!
