Memories of Summer

Actually this photograph of Selworthy Green in West Somerset was taken last year but I have little doubt it still looks the same this year and will do so next year. The lack of change and the continuity is what makes this location such a popular visitor attraction.

 

The village is part of the 12,000 acre Holnicote Estate in the care of the National Trust. These two cottages and the others on Selworthy Green were rebuilt in 1828 by Sir Thomas Acland of Killerton. Sir Thomas was a philanthropist and designed the village himself to provide housing for the aged and infirm of the Holnicote Estate.
