More about this scene

This area was connected with the iron industry. The church has a Tudor doorway and a Norman piscina on a carved pillar. Thomas Turner, who lived in the village in the mid-18th century, left an important diary spanning eleven years of his life. The Pelham family were influential local landowners, and their emblem was the Pelham Buckle; cast iron milestones in the area have the Pelham Buckle carved on them. Belmont is a Georgian house, and the gatehouse is an early Victorian house sited to the rear of Belmont. The village is noted for trug manufacture at a local steamed wood works.
