Life has past this location for many years, from a snails pace of steam engines to the fast pace of motor cars. Today the speed limit is 20mph so back to a crawl. The location is close to the A338 and full of history.
The two green seats are supposed to represent the leaves of the trees they surround and are a relatively recent replacement for the seats that were falling apart.
The small garden - Holmes Garden is a memorial to the late James Holmes a resident of the village who dedicated a lot of time to the wellbeing of the village and residents. The Oak tree is known as the Peace Oak and was planted at the end of the first world war - 1918. Well over a 100 years old, the acorns from this tree have been used to grow new oaks around the village. Below is a bench to sit and contemplate the world as if goes by. Enjoy!
The cache is nearby to all of this and it is a great place to start a circular walk around the village, please park carefully and respectfully if driving.
