The Coleridge Cottage -- a bit more work to do

Gardeners working to get the back garden of the Cottage ready by August 11. The National Trust is anxious.
Today I met Nether Stowey's former repairer of clocks, John, who promised to tell me the village history and what the cottage might really have looked liked.  John lives in a 400 year old cottage in Nether Stowey.  He explained why the birds fly in circles above the post office and how the house gables are built and  how Coleridge's friend,Thomas Poole, acquired his wealth.
