About Our Village

We have tried to encompass both old and new aspects of the village.
The History section gives an introduction to the history of the village, which dates back to Roman times. For visitors and locals, we have incorporated both a Village Trail, which can be explored locally and a Gallery of  photographs of the village for those visiting us electronically . The Genealogy Page  has a wealth of information and sources on this subject, about which we get many enquiries.
Wildlife and open spaces are explored more fully in a separate section.  The Annual Garden Gompetition has been running for some years now and awards prizes for the best kept front gardens in the village.
The garden competition reminds us of sunnier times and for keen gardeners as well as walkers who want to explore the village the local weather can also be accessed on this part of the site.
