When built it was constructed in a woodyard as a frame then dismantled, transported (horse and cart!) to site and rebuilt. The main beams are numbered 1,2,3 to the right and I,II,III,IV to the left, so that each individual hand carved joint was matched correctly on site! Nuff for now Luv and Kisses As the owner of the 600 year old house……… thks R for highlighting us and i hope you enjoyed this aspect of your stay “in the country”

You should consider writing history books. "Her-Leave-A" indeed!! I have seen an oak tree that was mentioned in the Doomsday book. And you know that's what they're quoting in "Alice in Wonderland" when they get all wet and need something "dry." Oh that was the best version of the Doomsday book I’ve heard yet!

Your story about Herleva is a hoot! It's the best synopsis I've ever read, and I hope you don't mind if I use it next spring when my daughter and I tackle Medieval History. My aunt and uncle went to England a few years ago, to see the places from which our family came. They saw The Old Church and The New Church in our hometown. The NEW Church was built in 1100...

Why not, when they could have history lessons like this? I can just imagine how the math lessons might go! Are you sure you don’t homeschool your children?

Someone somewhere is thinking "that's what happens when you have children out of wedlock - they come back back to bite you in the arse." Thanks for sharing. Now I can move England up on the list of places I want to visit. I think a book about the party girl would be good reading as well.

If I had an extra copy I'd send it to you, but since I don't... I'm sure you can get it from Amazon. Charles Dickens wrote a gem of a little book called "A Child's History of England" which explains all this English history in a very enjoyable smart-aleck way that I think you would really like!

Before all this, we also had Alfred who repelled Vikings (as in fought them) and burnt cakes... It's that last bit I sympathize with...
