The country lane leading into Mentmore village from the north viewed looking southwards with a light dusting of snow on the ground.

This is the end of the lane which loops around The Green in Mentmore and is named after it. This is its northern end as it comes to a T-junction with the lane to Ledburn.

Mentmore is an estate village formerly belonging to the mansion of Mentmore Towers (see other photos for this square). Just about all the houses in this village are picturesque, the ones shown here & Image] being typical, though unlike many estate villages the houses are quite varied in design.

Mentmore is a charming village which owes much of its existence to the neighbouring Mentmore Towers (see Image]) as many of the houses were built for estate workers. In the centre of the village is The Green, which is fringed by some mighty trees on its border with the lane to Ledburn (see Image]) four of which can be seen on the left in this image. This is a view of the northern part of The Green. The photo was taken from the village street which runs along The Green's southeastern side, and is also called The Green.

There is a fine row of lime trees along the boundary of The Green in Mentmore where it borders the lane to Ledburn (see Image] and Image]) the first few of these limes are rounded-topped, broad and of medium height, whereas the more northerly ones are taller and slimmer, such as the one seen here.
