More about this scene
The church of St Peter occupies an island site where the main street divides. The 13th-century tower has a stair turret that was probably added with the new peal of bells in the 15th century; most of the church seems to have been rebuilt then. Clunch was used for the fine Perpendicular windows.

This is the school I went to, and really enjoyed my time here. Mr. Gothard was the Headmaster. We also had a lovely Welsh teacher in the middle class, and I think Miss Yarrow took the little ones. (A very short walk through to Berristead Close where we lived.) We had to walk up to the village hall - St. Peter's - for our school lunches as there was no canteen.

Has not changed much over time - apart from the loss of the old oak tree.
This is the other side of the road from the Post Office, with a very old car parked in front of Hazel's shop, which sold all sorts of things including penny chews and sweets. You can see the old tree, and the bus stop and the end of the Blacksmith's cottage. The works would have been behind the tree. Towards the end of the road is the old Victorian School, and School Lane where my father lived when he was growing up in the 1920s -1930s.
Post Office and shop on the left. Mrs. Cornwall was the Postmistress. On the right is a lovely tree next to the Blacksmith's cottage, which was cut down for a new house later on. Lovely empty street here. Wonder who the child is?
