MARY VALLEY - SE Queensland Hinterlands Sunrise

Stour Valley Way: Cutt Mill, Hinton St Mary Just upstream from Sturminster Newton (Dorset, England), Cutt (or Cut) Mill is one of three grain mills in the area, the others being at Fiddleford and Sturminster Newton. The mill is now a ruin after a fire in 2003 and the present bricks and mortar date from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. However, it is believed that grain may have been milled on this site for 2000 years or more, Certainly there was a working mill at Hinton St Mary at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086. The earliest millers on record were John Rake and his son Ambrose, who died in 1752 and 1789 respectively. Search 'Stour Valley Way' for other views of the River Stour. Date: 16th September 2018.

St Mary Bourne is one of a string of pretty little villages that trace the Test Valley up to its sources. It is the typical English country village with stone church and a cluster of cottages, many of which are thatched. Here I've caught a thatcher at work on one of the cottages. Painted in oil on an 8x8 inch board, I particularly enjoyed painting the parked cars as a band of almost black paint, to which highlights of blue and white transform into what you see here.

Originally a small Saxon chapel, it was enlarged in the 12th century with stones from a nearby church which had fallen into disrepair. This image has been given a faded, vntage feel.
