More about this scene
This is an attractive village ranged along its north-south street about a mile to the south of Kibworth Beauchamp. Prior to its being enclosed, a more complicated street pattern was in place, with Mill Lane linking to Fleckney and Debdale Lane to Foxton. The photograph exudes a quiet rural atmosphere which is little changed. The fine house closing the view and the cottages in general remain readily recognisable. A single regret is the free importa- tion of plastic windows, which strike a discordant note.
