More about this scene
The origins of this rambling building, which overlooks the main street, lie in a 15th-century farmhouse, and until the New Inn was built in the 1640s, it also served the village as its ale-house. The original cottage was 'gentrified' during the early 19th century and later, the local doctor added extensions, which he used as his waiting room and surgery.
