Fowey from Polruan, originally uploaded by Adam Tinworth.

You see that odd little piece of architecture on the building to the left of the church?

It was built solely so that the house would be taller than he church, after a dispute between the owner and the vicar…

I'm sticking more photos from my Cornwall holiday up on Coffee & Complexity, my new general interest blog.

I think thats a great idea, just to outdo the the local vicar.

In all my years dealing with property, I have never heard of a local doing that, or even having a dispute with a vicar, funny situation though!

Hello,thanks for the blog post. Infos are really usefull and saved me many time which I spend on something else instead of searching posts like this :) Im waiting for more, bye :)
