Burwash

[poliphilo]

Bateman's is in Burwash- an exceptionally pretty, little, Sussex village. The main street is planted with (what I think are) lime trees.  You can tell from the shadows what a very hot day this was. 



This white house (so-named) looks like its been flown over from France. Those shutters are not in the lest bit English. 



The church is 12th century. 



I got chewing gum on my jeans taking this final picture. What sort of an eejit discards chewing gum in a churchyard?

the same kind of person who empties their ash trays in the church parking lot.

Nice pictures, Tony!

It's annoying isn't it? I didn't notice the gum until much, much later- which meant that it wound up on the car seat too.

Lime trees? Those would be Linden trees in the US, I think. They can get quite massive.

That last picture is great, despite the gum encounter. People are just thoughtless.

These lindens are clearly kept well clipped.

Great photos again!

Is the last headstone for a pirate???

I was wondering exactly the same thing. Nice, anyway.

Sadly, I doubt it. The skull and crossbones is a very common motif on 18th century gravestones.

Besides, East Sussex isn't really pirate country. Smuggling more like.

Aww... okay
I was hoping for it being the grave of some famous scoundrel. :^)

K and I got married in that church. K's parents lived on the high street, in the black-fronted building in the first photo.
