I grew up here, a tiny hamlet underneath Bulbarrow Hill. My grandfather and father are buried in the churchyard. My mother still lives here and is a great stalwart of this tiny community.

RE: RE: Small But Pretty

I agree about the pretty village. My great-grandmother was born here and her family lived in the village c1840. I came to visit in 1989. I love to visit my family history villages. I went to the top of Gold Hill to see where my family lived. I was told by a villager that all the houses were demolished but you could see the flowers that were growing in the gardens. The church and the view across the countryside was so beautiful. Lucky you to have grown up there.
