Seymour Court is kind of the manor house I’d like to stay in person, I often see coins in the water of basin or pond at Japanese parks and temples, but haven’t seen the moment the coins are thrown into. Nice time for photographing butterflies and blossoms. <br /><br />Little sunlight and low temperatures is typical of the rainy season, but it was extremely so this rainy season.

The addition Fratrum is the Latin for brothers and refers to the mediaeval ownership of the manor by the Knights Hospitaller, which distinguishes it from the other Tollers, namely Toller Porcorum and Toller Whelme. It is often referred to as Little Toller.
