Almshouses on Bentley Lane, Stutton These dwellings are right on the north-west edge of the village and just inside this square.  On the day of the photograph, they were bright with flowers and looking well-kempt.  The chimneys are particularly splendid, suggesting expense was not spared in the construction of these almshouses.

Smart new entrance to Roundwood Farm Right next to a bridle way, this seems to be a new access to Roundwood Farm, which is shown on the map as further north-west.  Not a cheap sign but a smart piece of stone lettering!
