IMGP2064

            Cricket pitch roller, with 'The Monument' behind (erected in 1845 to commemorate Thomas Coke*, Earl of Leicester, known as 'Coke of Norfolk' and famed for agricultural method improvements).

Holkham**, Norfolk

*  Pronounced 'cook'; this altered-pronounciation habit seems common on certain classes. The Spencer estate, of Diana fame, is spelt 'Althorp' but pronounced 'Althrop' - we only found that out through renting one of their cottages. One of the most extreme is the famous example of the surname 'Featherstonehaugh' having the gall to be pronounced 'Fanshaw'. God knows how it managed that one... 

** Actually pronounced 'Holk-am' - not as Baldrick pronounced it in his 'walks around Britain' programme, 'Hoke-am'. Tried to go with 'well that's how 'folk' is pronounced' - you'd think if it's part of a tv programme that someone would have told him. Nope.
