This is a Fairy Ring - the circle of toadstools that has expanded outwards from the original fungus. This surrounds an oak tree on the village green. The tree was planted to commemorate a local man who was a Morris dancer and a weaver who designed the bridal-dress train for Queen Elizabeth II's wedding dress.
