Sheltering from the rain

At least it was someplace nice

 

That's not baler twine keeping the gate closed, nice pic's Zigs

 

Nice pics Zigs.
I'm curious as to the VIIII markings on the beams in the 4th picture.

 

Never mind, found the answer (I think).
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals

Wow one learns something new everyday on GC.

 

Sorry, was somewhere else Dave, yep, Roman numerals used to help put it together.

The timbers were made off site and then re assembled. Each bay has different numbers on it.

My old boss came up to me in a Church once and asked me if i'd been teaching his lad to read Roman, as he'd just read off a date to him

MDCCCLXXVI - 1876

 

Do you know which roman numeral can climb a fence?
IV

 

Even had an old armchair, wish i'd taken a flask

 

Lovely shots, lovely building Zigs.

 

You been to Barrington Court again?

 

Think the National Trust might notice if I moved in.

 

Really interesting shots Zigs - great!
