Visit to Trish and Colin

We were invited to Trish and Colin's new house in West Winterslow, east of Salisbury. En-route we visited a few places that we hadn't been to before. The most interesting was the church and hospital in Farley.



In 1681, Sir Stephen Fox, Farley’s most famous son and loyal companion to Charles II, endowed Farley Hospital. He also commissioned the building of the Church, both buildings attributed to Sir Christopher Wren. The Church, Hospital, Wardenry, Primary School and Reading Room now form the historic core of the village and attract many visitors. Farley Hospital still provides accommodation in 6 almshouses and 2 cottages.




North of here in the village of Pitton this wall with its own thatched roof caught my eye. The wall was of chalk so without the thatching wouldn't have lasted long.





Eventually we found ourselves at Trish and Colin's - what a house they must be the 'Lord and Lady of the Manor'. One side of the house is glass which is great for seeing out of. It will take some cleaning though. It was a very pleasant evening weather wise so we had a BBQ ably cooked by Colin.



Thanks for a great time!
