Even in November this is an interesting garden with topiary, gates, a fountain and a variety of trees
A few roses are still flowering
The house is not open

Next we went to
Miserden Church
– a visit with Stroud U3A Church History and Architecture Group.
A tea caddy tomb
The round arch is Anglo-Saxon, with a lower later arch
Mediaeval stained glass
Effigy of William Kingston, died 1614
Effigies of Sir William Sandys and his wife (died 1640 and 1644)
We marvelled at the details
Their children are on either side, with the infants who died on the back

Miserden Lake
Last night the sky was red in the east, west and north, so we expected good weather today
We went to Miserden and did the Woodland Walk Map of walk 2.6 miles
We parked by Miserden Nursey and walked into the village,
then out into the fields. There were lots of birds flying about. We saw several pheasants too, but they were too shy to have their photos taken.
Lovely autumn colours
This lovely lake has been formed by a dam in the young River Frome (which later flows through Stroud)
Reflection in the stream
The church at Winstone on the hill
The Lodge is dated 1864
A lovely afternoon
