More about this scene

Originally clustered around the church to the south, the hamlet was destroyed by a fire in the 17th century and the Manor Inn, built in 1871, is the focus of the 'new' village. Although quiet-looking here, the village was known for its boisterous sporting events, with such things as cock fights, greyhound coursing and horseracing being organised.
