More about this scene
Despite a 20th-century road sign which carried the name '6d Handley', the Sixpenny really has nothing to do with money at all. The village got its name because in Saxon times it was part of the Hundred of Sexpena. Locals just call their home village 'Handley'.

My ancester Edward Dutch built and ran this hotel after the village fire in 1892 - as recorded in the censuses of the time. Take a look at my family history at www.thedutchfamily.co.uk/h_dutch.htm
