Project 365 day 253: Cat slide roof

I need to adjust my habits: when I went for a short walk with the camera at about quarter past six this evening, the light was fading fast. I was looking for urban photos featuring stone, and although the interpretation of urban is flexible - my village has streets and buildings - stone is not a very widely used material around here. Some houses use flints between facings in red brick, and garden walls more often use stone, but the village church is the only significant stone building, constructed in irregularly shaped flints with cut stone facings - the extra shows a detail of the range of materials.. This house behind the graveyard is built, like many in the village, in old, narrow red bricks, with the end section built of local flints, like the ones we dig up in the garden. The long roof sloping almost to the ground is known around here as a cat slide roof, and is a typical East Kent feature.
