More about this scene
The lime tree, shown on the 1846 Tithe map, was uprooted in an accident in December 1971. However, it was included in the village sign in 1973, and a new tree is growing nearby. The house and shop to the left have been demolished. Off to the left are the first rural council houses in England, built in 1893.

This village has the very first Rural Council Houses in England,- not pictured in your photographs,- but situated in Stow Road. They were built by the Thingoe R.D.C. following a lengthy argument and legal demands by the Ixworth Labourer's Association supported by Sydney Stern, the local M.P who went on to become Lord Wandsworth..
