More about this scene

The centre of the village dates from the restoration and repairs begun in 1752 by Lord Crewe's trustees. The village square appears to be sited on the L-shaped outer court of the Abbey, where the barns, storehouses and workshops would once have stood. Slag found under houses on the west side might indicate that the Abbey carried out some lead or silver smelting.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I spent many happy days at Baybridge (from the 1960s) at my great-grandmother's (Maughan) house (the house on the right of the picture), and went on to work part-time at the Lord Crewe Arms.
