Photographs of the village

The 24 photographs used on this site, each with the name of the person who took it.

21 of them are from geograph.org.uk, where photographers publish their pictures of every square of the country under a Creative Commons licence (CC BY-SA 2.0), which means they can be used here so long as the photographer is named. Three are villagers' or businesses' own, used with their permission. If you have a photograph of the village, old or new, that you would like to see here, email it to [email protected] with who took it and roughly when, and it goes on with your name under it.
