HFF... to everyone... from Dj.... 'Willy Lotts' cottage.

'Willy Lotts' cottage.. the house featured in 'John Constables' world renowned painting .. ''The Hay wain'' - occupied by a tenant farmer, who was said to have been born in the house and never to have left it for more than four days in his lifetime. The cottage has survived to this day practically unaltered.
Although.. as at September 2018.. the property is not lived in and the interior is mainly derelict.

Great images (I actually prefer the one in the PiP with reflections) and an interesting reference to Constable. What a pity it's now derelict. HFF and best wishes for the last weekend of the year and for 2019.

David G Johnson ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

Thank you Herb'... it looked derelict inside.. I think the exterior is kept clean for us tourists... and I can't imagine it ever being removed... they'll prop it up forever.
Keep well and 'all the best' for 2019.
