Diglis Hotel

This morning Ann went out with Emma and Raffy and I stayed in and made aubergine and  cauliflower curry. 

After lunch we went out to Diglis Hotel for a coffee.  Before we went in I took a couple of photos of the side of the hotel and the curve in the road.  The original building dates back to the 1600s.  It was rebuilt in Georgian times when it was a private house occupied by Edward Leader Williams, chief engineer to the Severn Navigation Commission, and his family.  His son, Edward was a keen amateur artist and a friend of the painter Constable, though it is his other son Benjamin who became a notable landscape artist.

The cathedral is in the background.
