More about this scene

Faulkland hamlet, in the parish of Hemington, declined with the end of its coal mining industry. Its 18th-century coaching inn is of similar age to the house of Thomas Turner, who built a folly tower nearby and shared with the villagers his pond and lawns, which became the large village green.
