Elizabethan Gatehouse, Frocester Court
Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking in the opposite direction, this is the half-timbered gatehouse of Frocester Court, which is a largely medieval manor house, of great antiquity, which was granted to the monks of St Peters Abbey, Gloucester, in 823 AD.
This building however, is much later, and seems to have been built towards the end of the 16th century, and although not quite in the Cotswolds, it has the typical steeply pitched gabled roofs and mullioned windows with prominent drip moulds, that are characteristics of the genre. Another cold, windswept day in July !!
Taken with a 1960 Kodak 66 Model III, f4.5/75mm Anaston lens, x2 yellow filter. Fomapan Ultra 400 in Thornton's Two Bath, 5+5 mins @21C, & scanned @1200dpi on an Epson V500
