The outer walls of the moat will have overflow pipes all the way around at an appropriate level. If there was torrential rain the water would run out of the overflow pipes, travel underground before entering one of the many streams, the river, or the lake to be found within the estate grounds.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-53282116004177671762020-12-18T11:26:31.218+00:002020-12-18T11:26:31.218+00:00Hello, Rosemary.

I remember the talk about horseshoe hanging in your past post but was forgetting which way was English or French. The house standing in a moat, I simply wonder what would become of it in the time of torrential rains. Bare trees are beautiful soaring freely to the sky without any leafy ornaments. <br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-91165257504433952822020-12-18T10:09:31.014+00:002020-12-18T10:09:31.014+00:00The best glass that I have around our home is the ...The best glass that I have around our home is the roof of our conservatory.

Even in the 1950s porthole opaque windows on side walls and shoe box or pillow sized clear planes in front and back were common in new builds. You tend to forget just how much glass has evolved relatively recently, in the modern era.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-63691362738422017662020-12-17T23:27:45.278+00:002020-12-17T23:27:45.278+00:00Hello Lorrie - Mary mentioned the same thing, but ...Hello Lorrie - Mary mentioned the same thing, but there was no sign of any dampness up the walls outside which you would have thought may have been covered in moss having sat in the deep water for hundreds of years.

The crown glass window is an idea that is new to me, and I would think that the light shining through to the inside of the house would be beautiful.
