Dist:1.2km north<br/>Victim of the bypass. EuroCommercials yard, now empty, was once full of secondhand vehicles for sale. The reduced traffic along Ermine Street has led to reduced trade. Housing is already being built on the site of another car dealership at the south end of High Cross. Presumably EuroCommercials awaits a similar fate.

Dist:1.2km south<br/>Pulled down in 1853 only the tower remains. It was erected in the 15th century but contains C12th & C14th elements from an earlier church. The dedication is given variously as to All Saints, or St Mary. The field in the foreground is moated on 2 sides and the overgrown churchyard to the east contains many gravestones.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>View across a field of wheat towards Sutes Wood from the junction of Gore Lane and Ermine Street, previously the A10. The new A10 (High Cross Bypass) is visible passing just in front of the wood and across a culvert in the left middle distance. The stream passing through the culvert becomes the Barwick Tributary of the River Rib.
