Yaverland church (1)

One of the products of the Victorian restoration of the church at Yaverland. A post, probably oak, with a carefully made lead roof to keep the rain out. Never seen such a thing before.

The church used to be the private chapel of the manor house and is tucked into a small plot of land jammed right underneath same. Perhaps the lord of the manor at the time was not into hunting or fishing but took a keen interest in architectural detailing instead.
