candles on the Horse Chestnuts:

I’ve always liked Horse Chestnut flowers but examined this closely, the flagrant nature of their soliciting is a little off-putting.

Under the trees the thousand starbursts and the garlic scent of Ransoms:

The fields alongside Bottoms Lane hold a wide variety of Livestock: Chickens and Ducks, Ponies and Donkeys, Pigs, Sheep and Goats – which kept Ben entertained. He was particularly pleased when these Cows came to say hello:

And he also appreciated the snails in the hedge bottom alongside the gate:

The hedgerows also held an embarrassment of riches for someone with a macro lens. There were Cuckoo-Pints (or Arum Lilies or Lords-and-Ladies):

Like the Hedge Garlic the leaves of Cuckoo-Pint appear very early in the spring. After these unusual flowers die back they will be replace byrebuilt,
gable ends partially rebuilt, re-roofed, and new window mullions and tracery inserted. Site slopes up to south and presumably prevented plan development
in that direction. All windows, except nave west window which is entirely C19, are C15 Perpendicular with C19 Perpendicular style mullions and tracery. West end has group of 3 gable ends with central taller nave gable mostly rebuilt C19 with C19 Perpendicular style 3-light window. North aisle gable end, left with C19 rebuilt gable has 4-light window. South aisle gable end, with 3-light window, except for Cl9 rebuilt gable is circa C13-C14 moorstone walling with
widened window opening C15, and contemporary with adjoining south wall. North wall is C15 with original plinth and coved wallplate cornice. Later C15 ashlar walling to east. Weathered diagonal buttress to north-west corner
