More about this scene
Between the wars, the five hundred inhabitants of this picturesque village included a wheelwright, saddler, blacksmith and farrier, carpenter, carrier, coalman, thatcher, thresher, shepherd, milkman, baker, butcher, general storekeeper and postmaster; in 1990 only the store, post office and milkman remained. This is an indication, if it were needed, of the metamorphosis of this and of many villages in the closing years of the last century. Unchanging, though, is St Botolph's Church near the River Gwash as it watches over the limestone cottages.
