The Square
|
Walking into the square, the old clock shop on the left was once the village butchers. Rings for tying up cattle are still in place. The two garages on the right were once Apricot Café right up to early 1980’s.

Yew Tree Cottage, a chocolate box cottage set back on the right hand side was probably built early in the 18th Century. Number 6 has a benchmark on the wall; 139.22m or 456.75 feet above sea level. This building was the Post Office in the 1940 – 50s. It moved there from numbers 26, and then 28 Roundtown. From number 6, the Post Office moved to number 15, The Square, and from there back to the shop opposite (11A). A market was held every Tuesday until late in the 17th Century.
