More about this scene

Looking east from the drive to the Manor House and church, the village green in 1897 was all but submerged in tall trees. These have gone and there are much more modest trees in their place. The village is a mix of 17th-century timber-framed cottages, and 1820s and 1840s to 1850s Bedford Estate cottages. Those in the distance are dated 1828 and Nos 28 and 29 on the left are timber-framed older cottages.
