Feeling drained...


Nice piece of roof tile came up today. Green glazed.



We now have a new drain. The original one ran E-W, then N-S and now into another drain heading E-W continuing under the baulk. This is a massive structure for this mansion house and must have taken a large work force and a long time to build. A big addition to the history of Stalbridge House.
