Get it in the right light, however, and a much more interesting picture emerges.

Likewise with this piece of stone which forms part of our "garden" border.

We do not know where the stones came from, but they are stylistically from different eras - a classical column base (or capital?) and a 15th century mullioned window frame. Of course, one would like to think that the column comes from one of the Gallo-Roman buildings of the original Preuilly, but that may be just a little over ambitious...............
