More about this scene
Next to an 18th century house of some interest, the post office, along with the pub, was the focal point of village life. The need to collect the pension and perhaps a few postage stamps could be spiced up with a little discreet local gossip. Now, thanks to cut-backs, post offices disappear like ghosts into the night. To the east of the village are the earthworks of a moated grange to Garendon Abbey, a Cistercian house founded in 1377.
