As is often the case the village green acts as a focal point. Hardigate Road, with its link to the A46 road, lies behind the photographer and Main Street can be seen ahead, leading towards the next village, Cropwell Bishop. Much of the surrounding land was owned by the Butler family of Warrington - now in Lancashire - hence it was once known as Cropwell Butler This family were Lords of the Manor.
