Here is the pub of the enormous fish and chips fame!

After we came out of the pub, it had brightened up considerably and I spotted this lovely bench and tree in blossom.

This house featured in the film A Canterbury Tale which was mentioned by David last week. I’ll definitely have to look out for that film as it features Fordwich which is very near here as well.

Can you imagine living in a house this big?

I’ve always admired this castle-like house.

From the outside, the church window doesn’t look like much.

I was thinking of the earth palette for Project Spectrum in April and May when I saw these tiles

and this amazing floor tile. I recognise the stork symbol pelican from the cathedral. I don’t know what it means but it would be interesting to know more about. Maybe rebirth?
(Updated: thank you to Alotherium for explaining in the comments, it is helpful to understand what the symbolism means)

I really liked the church ceiling

Another brown object for Project Spectrum.

Finally, an oast house.



Mrs. Pao- Thanks for the lovely tour of the neighborhood. I love the old houses and churches.
The beer was good in the pub as well.
The stained glass and the ceiling are lovely!
Great pictures! Love the castle house, too. The church is just beautiful!!!
The houses you pictured? Honestly, I have dreams about living in houses like that. They are STUNNING.
I had never heard of Wickhambreaux until I found your very interesting website, I will try and get there to see it for myself,and will re-visit your site again because I find it really refreshing.
Thanks.
Jennifer
That isn’t a stork, but a pelican. In ancient times, the pelican was rumored to sacrificially pluck flesh from its breast in order to feed its young, and hence, Catholics used it as a symbol of the Eucharist, where Christ gives himself to his people. “Amen, amen I say unto you, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have life in you.”
