More about this scene
If, as has been reported, it is not the most beautiful village in Hertfordshire, Westmill is certainly among the most photographed. The pump and its unique cover dominates the Green, with the cottages known as Pilgrim's Row behind. They are named after Samuel Pilgrim, who built them early in the early 1700s. The house on the right of the row, covered with ivy, is Parliament House. St Mary's church has some Saxon features, but much was lost during the Victorian rebuilding. The tower was restored in 2001. On the left is the village post office and tearooms, and to its right stands the fine turreted village hall.
