Ruins of Cavendish House, a 17th century mansion.This was about my 5th attempt to get a decent photo of this, normally you get very harsh dark shadows set against light areas but the light was ideal here.

Wolsey statue

Cardinal Wolsey statue who married henry the 8th, a very influental man in his time, buried here.. This is a classic example of not noticing the background elements while taking your pic. The sign seems glued to his head and is very distracting to say the least.
