This page has picture of the village as it looks today. I don't have any old photos myself (please send me some if you would allow me to scan them and return?), but there are a number of good images available from a collection called The Francis Frith Collection
There are two interesting half timbered houses that have been kept in wonderful
condition. This one is in Main Street and dates back to the 15th century.
This beautiful one is in The Square opposite St Andrew's church. In a previous
incarnation, is was Yeoman Farm House. It was built in the old part of the
village around 1615
This is the village hall and library. A very well used facility for all
different community activities in the community.The library is well stocked
with a wide range of educational and leisure reading, cds and games. The
hall can be booked for activities (see under Amenities for details)
A wonderful park and open space next to St Andrew's church.
One of the local sports facilities, the bowls club.
A

An
old farmhouse built in 1900. This is on the corner of Main Street and Peatling
Road and is in wonderful condition.
The
Bulls Head on Main Street. One of 4 good village pubs. Just on the left
edge of the picture is the Conservative Club part timbered building.
