Newton St Cyres' scarecrow festival is in full swing, and this participant is on the village green by the junction of West Town Road and the A377, in front of Shuttern Close. The thatched cottage is the C18 Shapland's Cottage http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=96388&mode=adv whose east end had to be rebuilt when the main road was widened in 1965.
