Village

Township as known here. The three which were my neighbours at my old house. The view I had from it.

The one which was 'mine' although I wasn't up on the hill (Cnoc, in Gaelic).

The only photos I have indexed with keyword "village" are of an abandoned one, medieval in origin. One picture is shown below. Curious as to the definition of a village I looked it up and is is "bigger than a hamlet" - of of course I looked up the definition of a hamlet and this is  "smaller than a village" - not in itself useful - but there is a qualifier "especially lacking a church".  So a village may or may not have a church but a hamlet definitely does not.  Isn't that helpful.  I've got lots of church pictures, many of which will be in villages, and at least one of which has lost its village.  Whether I have contextual photos showing a village that goes with a church I know not. It could be a long trawl.

Here's an evening shot of Thorpe church (most of my shots in villages are of the churches)

Dulwich Village really does think like a village mostly because the land it is built on was owned by Dulwich School and is still subject to various covenants.

Village church yard, St. Garmon, Llanarmon.

Wonderful ancient yew trees and slate grave stones.


Opposite the church is the village pub, which is owned by a good friend of ours.

That is almost true, there is another pub in the village but it is hardly ever open.
