More about this scene
Looking across the green at the airy and spacious village, we see the Old Rectory (left); the tallest of the next three buildings is the old police station and court house, with the White Heifer pub on the right. The Shoulder of Mutton next door became a butcher's, and was later knocked down to give access to a new development. Bennison's Store (right) closed in 1958, and has been a post office and general store ever since. Also in the village is the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, formed in Spain in 1539, whose philosophy is to care for those on the margins of society in sickness, disability, poverty and hunger, and those facing death. In 1880 the organisation was invited to take over a 300-year-old private residence in the village; the Roman Catholic brothers continue their invaluable care to this day.
