taken 11 days ago, near to Holcombe Rogus, Devon, England
Holcombe Court, Holcombe Rogus
A Tudor manor house dating from 1540.
Holcombe Rogus village name sounds a bit long and complicated, but is actually quite simple. Wikipedia says "The first element of the place-name is derived from Old English for a deep or hollow coomb (valley) and the second element refers to the holder of the land � at the time of the Domesday Book (1086) the tenant was Rogo or Rogus."
The house itself is just a short way into ST0519.
