More about this scene

This is a very attractive village, with a narrow street and thatched cottages. The lychgate stands at the entrance to the churchyard. The church is dedicated to St Osmund and has a 15th-century tower, although most of the fabric is from about 1840. The English landscape painter John Constable painted 'Weymouth Bay' here while he was on his honeymoon.
