Set back is the Vine Church, a Baptist Chapel rebuilt in 1868.
Just above the horse's back is the narrow entrance to Cheyne Lane (S177062, page 24).
This compact little village in a hollow south of the Hog's Back is benignly watched over by St Lawrence's Church, with its wooden 14th-century south porch.
At the back is St John's Gardens, and in front is the open area of St George's Plateau.
Further along The Broadway, and set back, is a row of shops which in fact incorporate a fragment of The Red House.
Prices by the mid fifties had doubled on what they had been around 1946: a pound of sirloin cost 4s 2d, 3lb of flour 1s 3d, a dozen eggs would set you back 3s 10d and a pound of butter 2s 6d.
