More about this scene
A herd of contented pigs rootle opposite the post office on the green which runs alongside a two-and-a-half mile stretch of the Romans' Stane Street. Later, in AD851, this was allegedly the site of a ferocious battle between Danish invaders and a Saxon army, in which the Danes were decisively routed and destroyed. According to the chronicles of the time, the brook alongside the green ran red with blood.
