This picture taken in the last quarter of the 19th century shows two of the last of the thatched cottages in the village. As they look as if they were originally long houses they were probably on the site when Christopher Saxton drew his map of the village in 1598. The church is between them and the property on the extreme left is the Board Inn where Stephen Lawn was the tenant in 1881
