Sleaford Vicarage..........

......seen in the late sunshine. It is a C15. timber-framed building of 2 storeys with large central gable. Upper storey
with half-timbering oversails and has a central bay window of 4 lights with wood mullions and modern glazing. Old tile roof. Ground floor rendered. Bargeboard and wood frieze of same design on right-hand side of building, the left-hand has a small brick parapet. Two Cl8 windows and one early casement. Moulded stone gateway at left-hand side with rebuilt segmental arch and small brick coping, surmounted by a cross and piece of mediaeval masonry. Right--hand wing of building is 1861 addition by Charles Kirk - who was a very well known Sleaford builder - and contains door, 2 storeys in red brick, wood bargeboards. Wing to rear is coursed rubble to side with rendered bay window of 2 storeys with Gothick glazing. Interior has chimneypiece dated 1568.
It is an extremely attractive property adjacent to the Church itself.

It has been a most frustrating weekend and I was unable to load this actually on the day! After a long conversation with the technical chappie at T-Mobile this morning, I have learned the our local mast was down for repairs. Anyway, that was about an hour ago and we now are all go again!!

Anni is off to the USA on Tuesday via London overnight - I hear the weather is not great where she is going but knowing her, she will make the very best she can of it. She is meeting up with several other Blippers whilst she is there and I know she is tremendously excited about that!

Weather was cloudy to start with - sun in the late afternoon (when this was taken) - and still very windy. Temperature around the mid 60s F.

Hoping you all had a less frustrating weekend than I did!
