"To the woods, to the woods!" "No, no, I'll tell the vicar!" "Ha! I AM the vicar!" Superb place and pic!

A great subject and place to have captured.... really cool to have that bit of information and yet, to see this place when it's so solemn and quiet... most peaceful, taken with a most delightful, almost welcoming perspective! Beautiful capture!

Thanks for the information, they were very helpful. Great POV, great pic and a wonderful piece of old architecure. It seems as if they keep the modern cars out. A good idea; I know some places here they should do so, too....
