Above the eyeline

Posted by Picasa

This is actually Edwardian 'Mock Tudor' architecture which sits above Boots the Chemist. The 4 carved figures represent some of the Bishops of Winchester - St Athelwold, Henry Fox, Wakelin and William of Wykeham.

Again as in this previous post a lot of information can be found in the book Look Up Winchester

  1. There's a mock Tudor thatched house in Stockport that isn't even thatched. At least this has a neat clock.

  2. Lovely shot - I like the contrasting black and white. It reminds me a lot of Chester.

  3. That's quite funny - thatched cottage without thatch!
