Dist:0.3km<br/>A hamlet so quiet even the road through it has no name. If you live here Christian Malford (about a mile this way) is the big city.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Weather vanes have always been more than just a wind direction device. Created by skilled craftsman, there is true artistic expression in the varied designs. Initially wood vanes were carved by carpenters or furniture makers, and iron, copper and tin ones were forged by the local blacksmith or tinsmith. In the 19th century weather vanes started to be mass-produced from moulds.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Farmland south of the railway. The white building is at Thornend. The R.A.F. Station at Lyneham is a short way beyond the top of the hill.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Standing on a style for elevation. Almost joins end to end with [[[2118271]]] to the left. Friday Street Farm is just out of shot to the right. The Paddington to Bristol railway line is clearly seen on its embankment, a grey box and a signal gantry stands a little to the right. The near pasture shows signs of a medieval field system.
