'S' Sherwood...In Texas...Not Nottingham

 The Courthouse

'Off The Beaten Path'

That's where I found Sherwood, Texas and it's Historical Courthouse.  A mere hop, skip and jump from San Angelo, and of course, a backroad with opportunities for a photo shoot.  Surrounded by a chain link fence, the courthouse and it's grounds were obviously under renovation.

The open gate and a parked pickup was the first clue that someone was there.  The first step on the stone steps that led to the huge double doors, was like stepping back in time.  

Imagine the hustle and bustle this magnificent building must have had back in the day.  To my surprise and delight the heavy double doors were unlocked and opened to a grand entrance room.

There was the judge cowboy holding court standing on a ladder with a gavel paintbrush.  Back to reality!!!  

After introductions, I asked permission to walkabout and take pictures.  "You betcha", said Cowboy painter, who was in the process of restoring the still Rock Solid building to it's former glory for the citizens of Sherwood and surrounding area to use as a Community Center, Wedding Venue and Event Center.
