This stream, one of number that run through and beneath the village has been inflated by recent heavy rains.The fact that the grid has withheld debris is good news. In 1993 no such grids existed and the lower part of the village was flooded in places. The water level here had risen by about 3 - 4 feet above its normal trickle. The grid which spans the stream captures debris washed down from surrounding fields and copses. Compare to Image]
