that windmill is absolutely gorgeous!! Stunning.
ReplyDeleteBack in my old stomping ground again! Have you climbed to the top of the windmill?
ReplyDeleteOh very beautiful! :) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteScene of many a boring school trip :-(
ReplyDeleteHow do teachers suck all the joy out of history?
The tithe barn is very intriguing. Easy to see that taxes were a lot bulkier back then! I would have been the one annoying kid in Chris's boring school trip that would have loved the tithe barn.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Very cool! I think it would make a fascinating trip! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteCan a windmill work with just two sails? This is a neat place. I wish I could hook up my house to it somehow!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You always find such interesting places.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!The windmill being my favorite of course...
ReplyDeletethat would be an interesting place to visit.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit that place someday. Wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteI really love the "Upminster Tithe Barn, built in 1450" pic... I think it is more the shape of the building...
ReplyDeleteHappy WW, and thanks for stopping by...
I really love the photography on this blog. Well done. These shots look like 'classic' England to this Yank.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. The barn as a museum seems like a great place to visit. I do love how you've chosen to show the photos.
ReplyDeleteTHanks everyone. Alison I have been to teh top of the windmill. It's worth seeing inside. It;s a shame that some teachers can take the joy out of a subject, Chris.

ReplyDeletePretty cool windmill. Everytime I see photos of windmills it reminds me of Holland, with women in wooden shoes. I just don't know why.
ReplyDeleteMine is up too.
I love the Tithe Barn. I've never seen one before.
ReplyDeletehappy WW!
Great pics...I love the windmill and the black and white are totally cool. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteI come from Dutch people, of course I love windmills.
ReplyDeleteThey have a lot of power generating windmills set up across the Texas countryside now. It's pretty interesting to watch.
The windmill is more than 200 yrs old. Is it still working? I would love to go up the windmill.
ReplyDeleteLove the classic effect.
ReplyDeleteBtw, would you mind if I'll link you in my blog?

ReplyDeleteSo much history! Imagine how many people have been there through the centuries.
ReplyDeleteThe Tithe barn would be really interesting to go through and find out the history and how that worked. My WW shows a great example of how to humiliate your teens on the internet, lol.
ReplyDeleteWow, 1450? I do not think there is anything near that old where I live. But I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteWow Jams - nice pics! I love historical buildings, and adore thatched roofs. Great subjects for a WW, well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! The most interesting ones I've seen today.

I didn't know that there were windmills in the UK, although now I remember to have seen one in Sussex when I was there in August. We have quite a lot here in Belgium especially near the dutch border.
ReplyDeleteTravelling around the US I always liked the windmills that were used to irrigate land. Remote monuments in flat land.
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I like the way you put that Colin. You see a few similar windmills in the fens of East Anglia.
ReplyDeleteWow, what interesting photos, and a little bit of history to boot!
ReplyDelete1450 is unbelievable and it looks like a wooden building. We are proud of our old dates in New England yet we have no dates like that. Your history is so fascinating and deep.
