Stonework Saturday

[Guest2]

I’m on vacation on the Greek island of Lefkas and staying with my outlaws. Lots of amazing stonework here. This early 80’s Honda Super Cub is my only 2 wheeled ride here. View attachment 1655953

No. My in-laws are awesome. My father in law is 81 and we’re good mates. He retired here in 2006 and has kept himself busy tending to his 300 olive trees, vineyard and small farm. 2 years ago he was still climbing the olive trees to shake the olives out.

Firstly, a photo of St. Mary's, Adwell, Oxfordshire from last Sunday.....

...built originally in the early 1200's, and rebuilt in 1865 incorporating some of the original stonework. Superb flintwork walls.

This morning, Abingdon County Hall, built in 1678 to 1682.....

...typical town hall, with a market undercroft space beneath a courtroom.

Later on this morning, the buttresses on the end of a barn dating from circa the 1860's on my friend's farm.....

...the buttresses were added later to support the gable end wall as the foundations are only around 10 inches deep!
