over the wall

This is the church spire and some of the cottages at Bosham Village (pronounced Bozzum) which lies on an inlet of Chichester Harbour.

Bosham has the honour of a mention in the second scene of the Bayeux Tapestry which refers to the meeting of Harold and Edward the Confessor in 1064, en route to meet William of Normandy, to discuss who would succeed Edward to the throne.

It shows the scene: "Where Harold, duke of the English, and his knights ride to Bosham Church."

@phil_howcroft

It's OK Phil, the wall is far to high to see over!!!

[Pat Knowles]

Love the old pronunciations like Bozzum....no wonder people get it wrong! Lovely brick wall Hazel....a very old village indeed!

[Rosan]

Great colors and texture!

@happypat

Yes, I agree place names are very idiosyncratic for pronunciation. Near our home in Suffolk is Barham, pronounced Barrum - or something like it!

That's an interesting view, over the wall, I like it, is really nice.

Beautiful composition and capture of the church spire and scottages

[Anita Russell]

I thought I recognised that spire. A great unusual angle across the graveyard and wall. I love Bosham, took a pic of brook and swing. http://365project.org/neatz/themes-and-comp/2014-09-05
