More about this scene

This quaint old pair of 18th-century cottages are built out of the local sarsen stone. Beyond is the Old Manor, dating from the early 16th century. It contains 17th-century panelling which originally came from Devon. Behind it rises the slim tower of St Michael's Church, a late Victorian construction.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Lets get this right; come off the High Street by Frog Lane on the road that goes back to the A4. The cottage in question is on the corner, go straight on to the church. It's basically the same big wall before it now, and it's all one house.
