More about this scene

A medieval 15th-century cross, two 17th-century houses with contrasting architectural styles and the church of St Andrew have all been captured in this delightful photograph. Perched on the tower parapet of the church is a bell-cote, which houses its Sanctus bell. The timber-framed, part jettied house on the right is one of a row of three.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Ceased operation as a pub in 1959. Now (2007) privately occupied by the Beran family. Previous owners were a builder who divided the land, the village schoolmaster, and the Jarvis'. A few relics of its pub days remain with serving hatches still visible and vertical planking in the hallway. The black rectangle to the left of the building was the privy, now gone. The large tree behind has gone but we have a Silver Birch of equal size by the front gate.
