Lacock, Wiltshire, largely preserved by the National Trust.
The top shot shows Lacock medieval street context with the 14th C
tithe barn peeping on the right.
Bottom left shows the roof structure, while bottom right shows the
wonderful light-revealing of the angled forms of daylight loopholes
which just appear as narrow vertical slots on the outside. Thick
limestone masonry walls.
[Tithe: one-tenth of produce as religious tax.]
This is part of the "West of London - 2012" Set:

Lacock Abbey was established in 1232; and the village formed its endowment to the church. Lacock was granted a market and developed a thriving wool industry during the Middle Ages. The barn held tithe produce for the Abbey.

Many thanks Majeed, Chris, Mike, Nick, Bijan, mpv (Piedemont and Liguria!),
Much appreciated.
Yes, Mike, as you see I'm learning at present. My particular interest is architecture and townscape -- very much relationships, context, spatial qualities. A single camera lens is confining by nature. So I think simple collages, if not distracting, can suggest space, serial vision, time-layering, etc in a way that a single image can't. That's my excuse.
The first I tried was simply to limit the display size of a very old slide by combining with others. I then realised, that far more important, it resultingly gave the sense of street activity:

The Lacock collage above will be in a Set opening shortly.
Kind all,

That's a nice collage, Pete. Looks a fascinating place, and I must see if I can get to visit it on one of my trips to the West Country.
