It actually wasn't raining when I left the hospital today, but the promise of precipitation was there.
However, I thought it was worth the risk to come home via part of Willesborough. Now just a suburb almost subsumed by the ever-expanding town of Ashford, it still has a lot of history to find.
Didn't have a lot of time today, but the church of St. Mary the Virgin was open for one of their coffee mornings, so it was well worth a little detour. Today being Remembrance Day, and following the Remembrance Service last Sunday, the church was full of poppies.
So, I've started a page for Willesbourough, and I will eventually also include the windmill, South Willesborough, Newtown and the old railway works on this page, as and when I can.
Currently only the church and a short mention of the pub will have to suffice, but there is oh so much more to come.
Watch this space!
