Rotherwick Circular
8 miles
Cycled to Rotherwick, grey and overcast. walk was a bit mundane like the weather and my mood, although I did see several deer running nearby on two separate occasions ..... lots of Heron as well
Interesting church at Hartley Westpall
The unique half-timbered construction of the west wall, seen from the exterior, has been dated by experts as 1320-1330. The massive beams are sometimes thought to be 'ship's timbers', but the craftsmanship and the cusping give reason to believe that they are of West Country origin; and this is likely to be so as, John Drokensford, Bishop of Bath and Wells, one of the Bishops of whom Edward. II wrote to the Pope, saying that he would no longer tolerate him in his kingdom, held the Manor of Hartley Westpall and exercised his patronage in 1324.
