Waymark beside Bridge Road, Countess Wear, Exeter
There is no explanation about what this item is marking! The design on top seems to represent a winding river, and the plaque on the post does not help.

Looking towards Countess Wear Bridge from Glasshouse Lane
The River Exe is right up to the top of its banks after heavy June rainfall. In another year, it might have been described as unusually heavy rainfall for June, but in 2012 it seems to have become the norm.

Windvane on Countess Wear House
Like the sundial (
Image]) this is dated 1715. Cherry and Pevsner have little to say about the building: "appears to be a substantial late C18 house revamped c.1900" and in the process give it the wrong house number. It is grade II listed, and the listing mentions that it was built circa 1770 and revammped in the Queen Anne Style in 1889. Why the date of 1715?
