Moon Walk Ends Barringtons Old World Charm
In Great Barrington England a feudal estate fades as modern life arrives. Villagers recall Col Mervyn Wingfield and a century of self sufficiency while the squire’s successors expand cottages and hire outside contractors. The vicar and planning board weigh charm against progress as the moon landing shifts local focus from choir suppers to space.
