More about this scene
This is a fine view of a pastoral hillside. The church of St Peter ad Vincula has a shingled broach spire. We can see a fine smock windmill in full working order in the left distance. It was built about 1820, ceased work 1910, and was demolished in 1915. The two-storey sandstone base is now part of a house. Archaeologists have found remains of 13th-century glass-making furnaces in the village. French immigrants worked the glass.
