More about this scene
There are two Benthams, High and Lower, and this view looks down Mount Pleasant from the village cross in High Bentham. It is interesting to note the old-fashioned flaming beacon school sign on the left, and the cobbled frontage to the cottages and the Black Bull Inn on the right.
