Moot Hall, Elstow by rosiekind

Moot Hall, Elstow

I went to visit the Vicar in Elstow today and I had never driven up the little road called Church End. Moot Hall is on the right and the grass had just been cut so I couldn't resist a picture. One day I shall have to go and have a look inside as it's only about 6 miles from where I live. It is only open at certain times between April and October (1-4pm on Saturdays or by arrangement). It is a 15th century building.
The Moot Hall was originally built to serve Elstow Abbey as a market house but is now a museum. It contains beautiful period furniture and has exhibits illustrating the life and traditions of 17th century England.
Down Church End? Think it should be at Moot Point! Lovely looking place.

What a fabulous building. I like the shadow of the tree bottom left which seems to 'anchor' the photo.
