More about this scene

Moving down the lane away from the green there is a row of architecturally more mixed houses, some 1840s Estate houses, others older before the Estate went into picturesque Tudor mode. The green was a more self-consciously contrived piece of villagescape at the gates of the manor house. In this view there is an early 19th-century Regency style rendered cottage with a verandah and, nearer the camera, a terrace of late 18th-century brick cottages with Tudor Estate styles in the distance, one dated 1846.
