More about this scene
The timber market cross dominates the photograph; to its left is the King's Head with its tile hanging and timbering, a finely-detailed town pub of 1899 by Shoebridge and Rising. These architects specialised in pub design, and quality shines through; similar quality can be seen at The Crown, an exuberant pub in Cricklewood Broadway, and The Rising Sun in Chalton Street, Euston. To its right is the beautiful mediaeval parish church of St Andrew in its leafy churchyard, exhibiting features attributable to every period since the 12th century. It has been 'restored' more than once, but it is often open and a must for the town visitor. Having perambulated the town centre, much more is to be enjoyed in the walks to the north of the church.
