I wonder if they built this to keep out the floods, if it was the fashion, or to get off a horse.
Any suggestions?

Hard telling but it is a neat old house. I love neat old houses. The shadow off the bush is a bit distracting but not much you can do about that. The house is great. Good detail.

Lilith: Thanks Gail, it is indeed very old. I'll have to look up the details. This is the back of the building. The front is a bit gloomy.

Because they wouldn't/couldn't dig the basement deeper?

Because the more upstairs Upstairs is, the more they feel superior to downstairs?

I'm thinking it was a fashion. But I'm guessing.

Lilith: Good points. The second is my favourite. Look down on the peasants out in the mud!

Is it built on a hill sloping up, away from you, maybe? Like the picture Lillith, you've composed it really nicely. Where did you shoot this?

Lilith: Hadnt thought of that. Its Avebury Manor, Wiltshire. You have to pay to get into the gardens and extra to get in the house but its worth a look.

Pretty sure Chris is right on this, an imposing doorway especially raised so high!

Lilith: Lovely isnt it. The sort of door to make a grand exit from.

It's a very pretty house. I like the shot and how you framed it, but I would have added just a bit more house at the top.

Lilith: Ta Jewlya, I take your point.

I think your former suggestion is more likely than the latter. Is it near water? Or maybe it is just to allow for a basement and or a sloping site!

Lilith: No water nearby, its in the middle of the Avebury circle. Hope sore throat better now.

This is Avebury Manor!?!?

My ex-SO and I had lunch and ciders at the Red Lion there... I love Avebury! Its a far superior atmosphere compared to Stonehenge.

Lilith: I agree with you. Its even better at night walking round the stones with the mist in the hollows, full moon... witches..scary..

You are good at architecture photos. I can follow the textures and stones easily..

Lilith: Thankyou. There are some wonderful stones near to this.. Avebury stone circle.
