Cottesmore, The Village c.1955

More about this scene
Here is a village at ease with itself, in the heart of stone country. On the extreme right is a single-decker bus which would now be an asset to any transport collection. The church of St Nicholas retains remnants of its Norman origins, but the fabric is mainly of a period around 1300, including the tower and tall broach spire. The great Victorian architect William Butterfield (1814-1900) rebuilt the south porch in 1851, and minor works were carried out here by the equally eminent John Loughborough Pearson (1817-97) in 1866.
