Archive Photos & Illustrations

Moments from our past.
The village and its valley have been a source for inspiration for artists and photographers over recent centuries. An extensive collection of archival photos is held by local historian, Ed. Thompson. He kindly permits some of his collection to be reproduced here. Watercolours and oil paintings of the village are dispersed among many private owners who have permitted their reproduction on this site. All photos are copyright and may not be used professionally without the express permission of the copyright holder.
