Village with six spellings and few modern comforts
An old English hamlet, existence noted since 1066, lacks electricity, gas, water, shops, phones, or a village green. It shares a policeman with nearby villages, and many inhabitants have never left ten miles from home or seen a cinema. Greenwich house workshops in York revive ancient crafts training youths in stone cutting and bronze work.
