I am glad you are finding them so interesting. I did buy a book about the battle (whilst I was there) which gave me lots of detailed information. I am glad you like the pics

I have been to Hereford Cathedral, I loved the chained books there. But I haven’t been to Kilpeck Church.

Wonderful series, Cherie, filling in a gap in my knowledge of history (one of many, I have to admit!). And, of course, your pix are marvellous too. I love buildings in red sandstone; it has such a rich palette, ranging from burnt umber to a shade that looks quite close to porphyry at times (Hereford Cathedral a favourite, & Kilpeck Church: do you know them?). And the lush green grass is the perfect background. You’ve illustrated this series beautifully – thank you.

Modern housing estates will not stand the test of time!!!

Thanks for the complement

I don’t know about the arch, but in the last few years the keep in the top pic has been shrouded in scaffolding whilst is was restored!

Five rounds from pea shooter with Louis Armstrong blowing could take down a modern Barratt housing estate!!!

Great Pics CherryPie.

I love the Arch in the second one….makes you want to place a bet on two things:-

1. How long it has been in that condition for.

2. How long it will last.

One shot from a canon and I think they would be dust!

THose were buildings built to last! I can’t see many of today’s buildings being around in hundreds of years!
