Ideal Dwelling Place for the Simple Life in England
The loneliest village in England, with six spellings of Wiston to Whiston, hosts one motorcycle, one wireless set, one inn, and one dartboard. Lacking electricity water shop or meeting hall, it has existed since 1006, shares two policemen with neighbors, and many inhabitants have never left ten miles from home.
