More about this scene
Further east, the thatched shop on the left is nowadays a private house, The Old House. Beyond is another thatched cottage, The White House. Behind the wide verge with its young trees is the churchyard of Holy Trinity. The dilapidated church was rebuilt in 1827 to a Georgian design of the then vicar, Thomas Scott. His son, George Gilbert, was born in the vicarage in 1811, and later became one of England's greatest Victorian architects; his work includes the Foreign Office, St Pancras Station Hotel, and the Albert Memorial, all in London.
