The site of North Stoneham House is not actually covered by houses.Much of the parkland is,but the where the house was is not far from the lake.Some stonework is still visible and the basements are open to the air now.Sadly the site is private.I managed to look around the site some years ago

As a kid we were always around the lakes and you're right the house was back beyond the church.👍

Super walk Rob. Love all the thatched cottages and, of course, the river. The Bat & Ball was indeed once a pub...closed in the early 20th century I believe.

I did part of this walk last week so I thought I'd watch. Firstly, there is no George 7th post box in Easton. Possibly Edward the 7th?
Otherwise, with regard to the political observations, I would think that all random events, by their very nature, could be regarded as an injustice.
