This "market" building is 600 years old. Trading took place on the columned lower level. This is one of the streets here that gently twists and dips After all these years there is not a straight wall on any of these buildings but they are still homes and businesses.

We found this pretty windmill but couldn't walk around too much because of the restrictions with the foot and mouth problem The villages church is beautiful and extremely old. The almhouses in back of it very so charming and pretty and are now private homes no longer owned by the church

The street also has old old timbered buildings and if you look closely down the street you can see how crooked all the buildings are. They are still homes This tin home is ancient. There are extra pieces of timber supporting the walls.
