The communication centre of the village. The K6 telephone box no longer has a telephone but is now the village infopoint. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

All the phone boxes round here have been decommissioned: this one is a village information point
