The Wife of Bath restaurant and rooms at 4 Upper Bridge Street, Wye, England. For excellent service, comfortable, elegant surroundings and delicious food, this establishment is highly recommended. Our friends Tracy and Alan joined us for dinner; we were all thoroughly charmed. The Wife of Bath is conveniently located near London, Canterbury, Ashford and the Kent Coast. The original expression "the Wife of Bath" came from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
A main street featuring some thatched-roof buildings in the medieval market town of Wye, Kent. Two antiques shops featuring Arts & Crafts and English furniture, porcelain and glassware are located on this street.
Entrance gates for Wye College, the University of London.
Gothic leaded windows at the college are accented by cottage garden plants.
The stone-and-brick college of Wye.
An interior courtyard at the college.
Looks just lovely. Thanks for sharing these!!

oh wow! What amazing photos! Buildings like that I can only dream about. We don't get ones as old as that here due to NZ only being a relatively new country.

Ditto ditto- wonderful photographs, thank you again for sharing. We just don't have architecture like this in Texas! Happy New Year to you.

Those cottage plantings are so pretty. Nobody can garden like the British!

How very medieval! Maybe this is more what I pictured instead of the Victorian mourning dresses. These buildings really are medieval! I mixed up my time periods. ;P
But, the Wife of Bath looks interesting, I would love to visit England one day too, as my mother's side is English from forever back and so is my husband and his family. I think we'll take the kids next year! Guess who I'll be asking for trip advice, YOU!
Lovely photos Tara, enjoy your day.
