More about this scene

The small village of Lilbourne had a market charter granted in 1219 by Henry III, but it clearly never developed into a fully fledged town. It also had a Norman motte and bailey castle whose earthworks survive quite well. This view, looking west from the green, has lost its two community facilities: The Bell is now a house, while the shop on the right is now a house called The Old Post Office.

This was the first house my husband and I bought together - we got married in it, and had our first daughter there. We stayed until 2002 - a gorgeous cottage, which we sadly outgrew.
