This is a 19th Century stable building that was rescued from demolition. Now being used as a potting shed by the staff at the Weald and Downland Museum.

It's an attractive building Zigs. It must have taken ages to mortar in all those stones.

It would have Sheal, I've done a lot of work on flint buildings I think I used to allow 2 and a half hours per square metre That pointing looks like it was done with cement mortar though, wouldn't have thought the museum would have used that unless they were replicating what it was like before they moved it

He was probably there when it was built.
