Graham,
I take it was a lowland subject to constant flooding? I was
expecting to see a spire jutting out of the lake and was very
disappointed! It is a beautiful shot. But confess its an bucolic legend.
Regards, Joe

At the end of the 15th century on the orders of the Knightley family,
who
owned Fawsley Hall, the village of Fawsley was abandoned. The villagers
were moved out in favour of the more profitable sheep grazing.
Capability
Brown, who was an 18th century master English landscape gardener not a
state
of military alert, flooded the area in the shot as part of his
landscaping
of the estate.
The old village of Fawsley is under the water
