Croquet at Bishops Palace

The Bishop's Palace and accompanying Bishops House at Wells in the English county of Somerset, is adjacent to Wells Cathedral and has been the home of the Bishops of the Diocese of Bath and Wells for 800 years. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. In the 14th century, Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury continued the building. He had an uneasy relationship with the citizens of Wells, partly because of his imposition of taxes, and surrounded his palace with crenellated walls, a moat and a drawbridge.

I used to like playing croquet (on my great-grandfather's lawn. None of us could beat him even when he was well into his 90s!).
A fabulous and evocative shot!

I like this a lot! Playing croquet in front of these venerable old building is very English indeed!
They exported this to the former colonies- in Rotorua I saw them at it in front of NZ mock Tudor, with a Maori gardener tending to the borders and the rotten egg smell pervading everything;-)
