  This is the Pear Tree Lane recreation ground and is the home of AFC Carnarvon. The ground was given to the village, as inscribed on a Image adjacent to the entrance on Image, by Elisabeth Countess of Carnarvon http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F54946 .

The entrance to a drive that leads to the gates of Teversal Manor is seen here from Buttery Lane, that leads to the centre of this small village. Faulkes (2004) has noted that "the suffix 'sal' is from an old Saxon word meaning a seat or dwelling, mansion, palace or hall", an indication that an early landowner had a dwelling or residence here. Behind the photographer Buttery Lane joins the B6014 road in the Skegby area.
