Take a step back, if only for a moment. Look again at this hodgepodge land of fields, hedgerows and places in-between.

Those who have toiled and shaped the landscape weeks, decades, centuries before us, working with nature, listening out for its lessons; they have all left their indelible marks. Set in this sceptred isle are the gems which make it what it is, one of a kind.

Rambling through this built history, I have endeavoured to shine a light on the quirks and curiosities that sometimes fall between the cracks in our gaze. This is a rambling journal of architecture and landscapes; of places where our shared past reaches out.
