Roses round the door

A "chocolate box" view of one of the many pretty cottages in the nearby village of Rockingham on the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire border.  Overlooked by its magnificent castle which was built soon after 1066 by William the Conqueror, the village was granted a market charter in 1272.  By 1615 several houses were built along the main road through the village and it remains largely the same today in spite of the amount of traffic passing through!
