Lights In The Stone 117/9 Vase

Famously one the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds, Castle Combe an exquisite collection of 15th-century stone-tiled cottages decorating the Bybrook River valley in deepest rural Wiltshire. The pretty buildings of Castle Combe represent English vernacular architecture at its supposedly most perfect, the type of village that William Morris would have championed when he set up the Society for the Protection of Ancient Monuments a century ago. Kerry uses the warm lights of a church to journey through narrow streets, over bridge and river as large plumes of woodsmoke puff from Cotswold stone chimneys against the crisp sky. The twentieth-century writer J. B. Priestley wrote of Cotswold stone that – “the truth is that it has no colour that can be described. Even when the sun is obscured and the light is cold, these walls are still faintly warm and luminous, as if they knew the trick of keeping the lost sunlight of centuries glimmering about them.”
