Thatched Roof Thursday #61 - Leek Wootton

Ivy Cottage

All I can tell you about this 'close to the road' 

thatched cottage is the name.

The thatched part of the building seems to be part of of

a bigger house to the left. 

It is next door to Gypsy Cottage.
I showed you that one last week.

Where the front door is?  Don't know.

But I can say this.
When the sun comes out
(as it did about 30 minutes later),
it looks sweet to me.

Thatched Roof Thursday #60 - Leek Wootton

 Gypsy Cottage and The Cottage

Let's walk around to the front :)

Grade II Listed this 17th Century building is made up of more than one cottage.  

The small sign on the front says 'Gypsy Cottage'.  

I think that the right-hand side of the building is

The Cottage and Gypsy Cottage is to the left.

Across the street is a pub. The view from 

the garden is just about perfect to me.

All of these photos were taken on the same afternoon

about 3 weeks ago.  Passing clouds and rain caused some

of the photos to be a tad dark.  But you get the idea!

Thatched Roof Thursday #58 - Leek Wootton

The Forge Cottage

Grade II Listed dating around the 17th Century

located about 8 miles from Coventry.

This sweet thatch is on the main road in the

charming village of Leek Wootton.

The plan - Another long weekend.  

To my blogging friends:  I don't know

how you all fit in posting photos as often as you do

and commenting on so many blogs, including mine.

I salute you! Cheers :).

All Saints' Church, Leek Wootton

I was in search of thatched cottages today.

Not only did I find a couple but I also

discovered the impressive

All Saints' Church in the village of Leek Wootton.

It is a beautiful church with an extraordinary cemetery along side.

The church was closed.  I have so many questions. 

It is a 'must' that I return.  So this posting is 'to be continued'.

I will also try and get a better photo of the the main entrance.

I like the shadows of the tree but .... :).
