Zeiss-Ikon Ercona mit Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 3.5/105, handheld, no filter, Fomapan 100 developed in Rodinal 1+25 using a Jobo drum, constant inversions for the first minute, then 3 inversions every 30 seconds for the remainder of the developing time, scanned on an Epson V800, adjusted in Lightroom.
The porch was built in 1616, but the beautifully carved arched door hood and the studded stable type door itself were reused from the original 15th century building that stood on the site.
On the way home after a family visit, a detour to a favorite place with a warm welcome on a stormy winter’s day is a welcome respite. A quick post using my phone! Gasp! Catch up soon!
Yet another pub I walked past. A bad habit I must try and break.
On a small green on a bend in the picturesque and quiet high street.
I love the fairy-tale lean on that small central dormer window.
The Green Man is apparently featured in the British TV series, 'Grantchester'.
A hot, sultry afternoon, the pub looks quiet but it has a long beer garden with direct access onto the Grantchester meadows.
16/17th century cottage -probably more than one, licenced as a coaching inn in 1847.
This Grade I listed house was built in 1616 by Thomas Kay (or Kaye), the newly appointed chaplain of the Council of the Marches, the governing body that oversaw Wales and its bordering counties.
There has been a building on this site since at least the early 1300's, but this was demolished by Kay, apart from the stone facade facing the church and the original ornately carved door surround and the door itself at the base of the eye-catching three storeyed timber porch.
Apart from modern heating and plumbing the house has remained little changed both inside and out since it was built in 1616, hence its Grade I listing.

Detail of the timber supports for the elevated 17th century "Old Grammar School" in Market Harborough.
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!
I mentioned in my recent posting of the Reader's House, viewed from the churchyard, that a snicket (narrow cut-through) to its left unexpectedly pops you out here at the top of some stone steps.
I remember when I first discovered this surprise view and the delight I felt back in the early 80's when I first visited the town.
BLB is very dry and rather vague about it so I have few details. Medieval to 17th century is my guess, but from the street outside you would never know this was here; it was given a boring facade in the late 18th century of plain rendered brick.
A little bit of picturesque 'merrie olde England', and I should imagine that quite a few have been well merried and staggered home from there over the centuries!

The courthouse was built around 1485 at the end of Long Crendon's High Street, just before it terminates at the churchyard gates. The ground floor was intended to provide accommodation for poor of the parish, while the first floor was reserved for gatherings of the annual manorial court. There were three lordships with property in the village, though none had a manor house here, so the manor court fulfilled a vital role in maintaining a semblance of order and local law. In the early 15th century one of the manors in Long Crendon was held by Queen Katherine, wife of Henry V. The court was set up to deal with minor offences, church tithes, and details of tenancy agreements. Among the offences dealt with in the courthouse were crimes such as selling fish that had gone off, and brewing unlicensed beer. Every tenant was required to attend court meetings. One end of the elongated building was used as a kitchen to prepare meals for court members. Court gatherings were held here every year on the Tuesday of Whitsunday week.
In the 19th century the building was used to house the local Sunday school, but by 1890 it was in poor condition and threatened with being pulled down. The local vicar launched a campaign to save the courthouse, and in 1900 it became the second building purchased by the National Trust.
Found this one whilst doing a bit of scanning and it struck me that even though it's nearly 25 years old, this view is almost entirely unchanged. Also I thought it was a half decent photo, worth sharing...Looking the other way from this shot, which is from last year.
The spectacular three storied porch.

The junction of Mill St. and Church St. and the late 17th century Bell hotel. Dated 1696 above the porch it's quite late to be built in this style.
Photo of straw bale house shortly after completion in 2005. Bales are covered with lime plaster. Structural support is a timber frame built by Salisbury Timberframe. Pitched roof is made from polycarbonate material.
The arch came in very handy as this shot is pointing directly towards the sun on a very bright day.
The manor of Long Crendon is steeped in history with direct links to the Battle of Hastings and to the Magna Carta.
Sir Walter Giffard (d.1102) was right-hand man to William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings and was awarded the Manor of Long Crendon for his part in defeating King Harold. William Marshal, known as "The Greatest Knight", was Lord of the Manor of Long Crendon and was one of the 25 barons to force King John to put his seal on the Magna Carta on the 15th June 1215.
Long Crendon Manor began as a dwelling for the abbots of nearby Notley in about 1187. From the original Great Hall the house developed with the East wing added in the 14th Century and the West wing in the 15th Century.
Under the ownership of Laline Hohler, daughter of Lady De L'Isle of Dudley and Penshurst, over 1920 and 1921 the house was restored and extended by the renowned architect, Phillip Tilden, who went on to restore Chartwell House for Sir Winston Churchill.
The interior appears to be as stunning as the exterior and both have often featured in film and television; especially Midsomer Murders.
The house is now an exclusive B&B and a farm shop operates from the stables.
In 1929 West Wycombe village was put up for sale by the Dashwood family (of the nearby stately home West Wycombe Park) to raise cash following that year's Wall Street Crash. It was bought in its entirety by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (better known as the Royal Society of Arts, or simply the RSA) as part of the Society's "Campaign for the Preservation of Ancient Cottages". In 1934, after extensive repairs, the Society handed the property over to the National Trust.
Today it survives as a perfectly preserved village of cottages and inns from the 15th to the 18th centuries.
Although the village is mostly linear, running along the old A40, Church Lane which passes under Church Loft is a pleasant diversion. A steep street of listed cottages running up to the Dashwoods' Mausoleum, West Wycombe Caves, aka Hell Fire Caves, and the Church of St Lawrence.
Although long distance traffic has mostly been diverted onto the M40 a few miles to the west, the old A40 remains quite a busy road that does this picturesque village few favours. It always looks incredibly dusty and I fear the neighbour across the street cleaning her windows must have a thankless task. However I console myself that the dust is probably 'authentic', and the village looks more like it did when roads were unsurfaced than the usual sterile perfection of most National Trust properties.
(And let's hope the National Trust don't slather it with whitewash and take all the character out of it like they have with so many of their timber-framed properties in recent years.)
Maldon Town Essex
The town of Maldon is especially famous for the Hythe Quay, home to many of the remaining Thames Barges.
Maldon is one of the oldest recorded towns in Essex and a walk up the High Street to the crest of the town reveals many buildings whose brick facades conceal medieval timber frames.
La ville de Maldon est particulièrement célèbre pour Hythe Quay, qui abrite de nombreuses barges sur la Tamise.
Maldon est l'une des plus anciennes villes connues de l'Essex et une promenade dans High Street jusqu'au sommet de la ville révèle de nombreux bâtiments dont les façades en briques cachent des charpentes médiévales en bois.

At the heart of the Brockhampton estate lies Lower Brockhampton - a medieval moated manor house with a beautiful timber framed gatehouse. Visitors can see the Great Hall, open to the rafters which were constructed from wood from the estate.

Please have a look at my albums:
(German: Zuckerhut) Originally, it was built in the Middle Ages between 1500 and 1510. During World War II, in March 1945, the building was completely destroyed by incendiary bombs.
From 2000 on a private association dedicated to the embellishment of the city, started collecting funds to reconstruct the Upended Sugarloaf. The reconstruction started in 2009 and the building was inaugurated in 2010. The Upended Sugarloaf is now used as a café.
