Cricket near the pub At the northern edge of the square the small building marked on the public footpath across the road from the pub is a cricket pavilion. Oddly, the cricket pitch seems to be in the middle of a golf course.

Strange little building This unusual little building stands in the grounds of Beesonend Farm House. I've classified it as a shed, but I'm sure there is - or at least was - more to it than that.
