The village phone box has been decommissioned by British Telecom but the parish has found a new use for it - as a book exchange. A lot of ex-phone boxes, when taken out of service by BT, have been offered to the local community for £1 so that they can remain as a feature of the village. Many parish councils have taken up this offer, with quite a lot of them finding an alternative use for the kiosk. The box stands outside Image See Image for a close-up.
