More about this scene
This quiet north Hertfordshire village offers teas in the garden - or something a little stronger at the Three Horseshoes (left). The pub had been the village school in 1873. In the background is the 12th-century parish church of St Nicholas, which has been superseded by the ultra-modern church of St George in the 'new' town of Letchworth. St Nicholas' is particularly proud of its peal of eight bells, which includes one cast in the 1500s and another, recast in 1946, in memory of the travelling evangelist, Gypsy Smith.
