Widows Houses

Having spent the last two days driving on motorways to and from Cork,
I decided I'd avoid the motorway when I was driving back from Drogheda to Dundalk today.
As I passed through the village of Castlebellingham, with its quaint 'Widows Houses' which were endowed by Sir William Bellingham, I
thought this was just the sort of scene a tourist might stop for.
So I stopped and got my shot.
It's been a busy week, so I'll catch up with commenting at the weekend.

Very nicely composed with that gate in the foreground, and beautiful low light on the house. The building is certainly quite appealing as well. V.

decoratively a bit of a hodge-podge, yet captivating all the same...for a widow (or widower)a comforting place to call home..V

Why a widow's house Mairead. Looks big enough for a family. Was it just a name ? Your photo makes it look eminently desirable to live in

Definitely worth stopping for. What an enchanting house with no sign of anything modern. "V"
