Becket Street gets a makeover.

A short, and narrow, cul-de-sac that runs from Tisbury's High Street.

There are more crowns than any other pub sign. In earlier days it may well have started when the inn was on Crown property. Without doubt the numbers have grown as a symbol of loyalty to the Throne.

Known locally as Spooky Alley.

A modern cul-de-sac tucked into the very heart of the village, with a beech tree on the right.

Cul-de-sac on the NW side of Church Street.

The River Nadder is 35 metres behind the camera. At the far end of the lane, the Crown Inn http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4313829 is for sale in December 2014. The low wall is at the western edge of the churchyard of St John the Baptist.

Seen hanging over a wall on Image is this lovely Blue Passionflower. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Spanish Christian missionaries used the unique physical structures of the Passionflower plant, and in particular the numbers of its various flower parts, as symbols of the Passion or the last days of Jesus and, in particular, his Crucifixion: The pointed tips of the leaves were said to represent the Holy Lance. The tendrils represented the whips used in the flagellation of Christ. The ten petals and sepals represented the ten faithful apostles (leaving out St. Peter the denier and Judas Iscariot the betrayer). The flower's radial filaments, of which there are usually more than a hundred and vary from flower to flower, represented the crown of thorns. The chalice-shaped ovary with its receptacle represented the Holy Grail The 3 stigmas represented the 3 nails and the 5 anthers below them the 5 wounds (four by the nails and one by the lance). And The blue and white colours of many species' flowers represented Heaven and Purity.

In December 2014, an estate agent's For Sale board is on the wall of the Church Street pub. Dating from the mid 19th century, with later additions and changes, the inn was Grade II listed in 1987.
