"Around three sides of the village green are ancient white-washed cottages and on the north side is the village post-office and shop with four more modern stone houses, each with its charming garden sloping down to the green. For in this fragrant place all is pleasant to the eye and the ear. Here is peace! Here is a small community living together as life was meant to be lived!" Text from The Great Parish of Simonburn from Hadrian's Wall to Carter Bar: An Historical Guide by Cecil Dickson Ward Davis (1972).
