More about this scene
In this view the church seems to close the end of the village green. The three groups of cottages are timber-framed and date from the 17th and 18th centuries. There is a white brick Gothic battlemented arch between the first and second group. The pump was the gift of William Makin, farmer at the Hall, in 1854; it was made by Ransomes & Sims of Ipswich.
