More about this scene
In the distance the church and the Crown are hidden by trees. To the left is the Congregational chapel, opened in 1864, with round-headed windows added in 1906. The chapel closed in 1980. The gable end is part of a 15th-century Wealden house. The stone was brought here from Somerton in 1713 on a sledge pulled by 45 horses to commemorate the Treaty of Utrecht.

My mother was born in Hartest in what was then, the police station, in 1925. Her father was PC Alfred Edward Dewy. As a child in the 60's and 70's, I was taken to Hartest and shown the house. I loved going, and now I live near Bury St Edmunds, I would love to go again, but I cannot remember where the house was in the village. Can anyone help?
Went to Sunday School here as well... my uncle and aunt ran it at the time.
