Back in the Begining of March I happened to be down near Winchester visiting a few churches. On of them was in a place called Ovington where I took some time to get a few photos from round the village
Looking down the road beside the church
Just along the road from the last photo
From the churchyard you could see these cottages
that had the builders initials on a stone at the end
The cottages looks the typical type you would expect to see out in a country village
Gates leading to the manor house
and looking back along the road near the gates
The house here from what I can make out used to be the old village post office
this is a view you get coming ito the village of Ovington
The other end now and I presume the local pub
Looking up the road from nea rthe pub towards the Village of Ovington
This path runs past th epub
and goes over a bridge crossing the River Itchen and heads off to a village called Itchen Stoke
The river is one of the cleanest I've seen
Time to go, only sad I did not visit the pub as I was off to the next place I wanted to visit

How lovely and peaceful this village looks.
Worth a Thousand Words
There is nothing to compare to our villages. You must go back and visit the pub. I expect there will be good food served there as well as a good pint.
This is exactly what comes to mind when thinking of an English village with pretty cottages and laneways.
It's so like those used in films with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple!
You do get to see such beautiful, old villages there. Love these photos.
Ovington looks like the quintessential English village Bill!
The village does seem inviting.
