More about this scene

The shops, work-shops and brick houses are built on the street edge, while the older cottages and farmhouses are set back, possibly on the line of the original village green. The White Hart Inn of c1630 is an exception - it can just be seen behind the village cross (centre). The cross has the initials EI 1637 and an octagonal shaft surmounted by a ball finial; there are two gnomons on the sundial clock.
