I used to live near a church that quartered troops during the English civil war, it dated back to the 1100s. The new village I’ve moved to has a practically new church, only the 1600s. My own house however is more impressive - I have the original deeds going back to 1831, which is quite humbling looking through them.

The pub in the village has been around since the 15th century. You can see original parts of the old building inside. There's a legend that smugglers used the pub for their clandestine activities and also there was a famous murder of a customs officer too.
