The older houses are surrounded by mature trees, but later infilling has led to modern houses and bungalows with hedges of the dreaded leylandii.
The garden plots of the houses are prominent, sheltered by hedges and mostly on the south-facing slope on the right.
This view of Cottesmore is typical of Rutland's visual feast of limestone and ironstone villages, set in a rolling, spired landscape of hedges and walls which the hunt can, in the main, take in its stride
supplies of wood fuel to smelt it; the iron-making families brought much wealth to the parish.The church of St Margaret, with a shingled broach spire, stands above the houses.The neat topiary hedge-work
The western section of the High Street (viewed here from the forecourt of The Spread Eagle) is dominated by the clock tower built by Butler and Hedge in 1847-48.
The path between the hedge and the stone wall is named the Cat Walk.
Dominated by the Town Hall on its west side, and sheltered by trees and hedges, sandwiches could be consumed and pigeons fed on the crusty remnants.
The hedge behind has now grown so that it is the same height as the signpost, making the garden much more secluded!
The fence is more substantial now, as it is a tall green hedge. The signpost with all its information (centre) has also gone.
The buildings housing the premises of Hedges & Son (right), however, have been demolished and replaced by a road and open space leading to a pedestrian shopping precinct.
A narrow hedge-lined Marlpit Lane linking Coulsdon to Old Coulsdon survived until its widening in 1928.
Winding, hedge-bound lanes and low-built cottages thatched with wheat straw were typical of Inskip, Treales, Wharles and other Fylde villages.
Station Road looks a tidy place: the hedges are well trimmed and the roadway is clean. Each of the houses shows a differing style, with dormers, gables and bow windows.
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.
Fortunately the chalk from the quarry, hidden behind the hedge on the right, provided material for a solid surface.
The circular gun-ports at the base of the gatehouse walls are obscured by hedging.
The apparent terracing between the river and the church is actually hedges on either side of the Marks Tey to Sudbury railway line and of the road from Bures to Sudbury running south to north across
Draped on the garden hedge of the adjoining two-storey brick house is an item of laundry laid out to dry amid the surrounding hollyhocks.
village of Shackleford, west of Godalming, has a mixture of houses in different styles, as evidenced here by the creeper-clad building on the right, the tall-chimneyed cottages with their neatly trimmed hedges
Tall yew hedges grow along the north and west paths, creating its distinctive look.
It is remarkably little changed, apart from the line of tall Lombardy poplars which went in the 1990s and the removal of the hedges. Even the flower beds are still planted and maintained.
The shelter of the great hawthorn hedges, the silent rippling movement of the water and the stillness of the reeds and trees produces that so-elusive sound of silence, often longed for but rarely experienced
The hedge on the right has been replaced by a fence, but the poplars remain intact.
But foreign sports are taking over: just beyond the hedge today a strip of land has been prepared with sand so that people can play boules.
