An old farm yard with outbuildings and an evolution of farm houses, one built in the 1910s, one built in the 1930s and another built in the 1950s-60s. The farm is no longer needed and in the way of an irrigation pivot. With the permission of the owner I am currently salvaging this place of old wood..windows etc for projects.. So look for more shots of the place..

South aisle window at Clent by the London firm of Lavers and Westlake (alternatively known over the years as Lavers & Barraud or Lavers, Barraud & Westlake) dated 1897.
I took this in 2006. The old store was recently torn down. I saw the fuel tank sitting out by the fence around the property. This is a different crop than in an earlier upload.
Boo Windows is a dive site with beautiful soft coral and sea fans surrounding a small rock island. This rock island has a hole carved out by the waves where the sun shines down and opens a heavenly window to the sky.

Beeby was once a larger settlement but today has dwindled to only a handful of houses, it comes as no surprise then to find the church had become redundant, but has happily been vested in the Churches Conservation Trust who continue to maintain it.
The most striking aspect of this attractive ironstone church is its handsome late medieval west tower, distinctively crowned with the 'sawn off' stump of an intended spire (which it seems was never finished). The remainder of the building is mostly of 14th century date with later adjustments (such as the addition of a clerestorey), though the chancel is an early 19th century rebuild in brick, and seems a little undersized for this otherwise fairly grand building.
Within there is the slight sense of sparseness associated with retired churches but plenty of interest to enjoy. The woodwork is a surprising mix, with late Georgian box pews on the south side of the nave and and an extremely 14th century wooden rood screen, partially restored but retaining its fine tracery forms (of which a further section can be seen in the south aisle). There is a rather charming font (13th century with a later bowl and cover) and a profusion of quirky carvings added as part of a major restoration in the early 19th century.
Beeby church is happily generally kept open for visitors during the day, one of the admirable aims of the Trust who preserve our heritage and keep it accessible for all to enjoy.
