Wyddial, Village 1923

More about this scene
Sad to say, the fine thatched house and barn have not survived; only the row of Rose Cottages stand today as a reminder of the tiny village of Wyddial. The community grew up on the road between Buntingford (or Layston, as it was then called) and the villages of Barkway and Anstey. Wyddial Hall, in 1923 the home of the Heaton-Ellis family, stands on the high ground about 1/4 mile to the right of the photographer, and can be seen for miles around. Wyddial's greatest claim to fame is that is cut in half by the Meridian Line - a tiny cast iron commemoration post has been set up opposite the entrance to Wyddial Hall.
