More about this scene

An overview of Ludham from the tower of St Catherine's Church shows the well-wooded, rich agricultural land surrounding the village before many of the hedges had been removed. The vehicle outside the kissing gate at the end of the church path is a 1920s model. The memorial cross at the corner of the churchyard commemorates those who fell in the 1914-18 war.
