I posted some photos of the church a couple of weeks ago so I thought I would show the village in this weeks Our World Tuesday
The view I got looking down from the road leading to the village hall
Looking along the main road past one of the thatched cottages
The pub is called the Blue Lion and unusual name, most are called the Red Lion
The village sign
An old Mile Stone
Another of the roads through the village towards some thatched cottages
Row of cottages
Another of the thatched cottages
Topically looking English cottage
There is even a stream running through the village
Bridges crossing them
A thatched owl on a cottage porch
This cottage was in the first photo and I'm sure it was a pub at one time now like many it's closed and converted into a house
Finally back to the village hall.
Finally back to the village hall.
Hope you enjoyed the little tour

I enjoyed that tour very much. Thanks for taking me along.
You found lots to show us from the village. Interesting pub name. I don't think I have ever come across a Blue Lion before.
Thanks for the tour. I really enjoyed the charming and quaint atmosphere.
Beautiful village and you captured it so well ~ thanks.
Wishing you a special week ~ ^_^
I love these postings on English villages. I would love to visit them some day.
Worth a Thousand Words
I love all those thatched cottages!
Thatched roofs gives the houses such a gentle character. I love to see this.
I enjoyed the walk through Collingbourne very much Bill, all those wonderful old thatches.. a quintessential English village!
Ah, you do get to walk through some lovely old villages!
Very English indeed. There must be a story to the Blue Lion.
It's a pretty village. I like the brick and flint buildings, the thatched cottages and the unusually named Blue Lion Inn. Thank you for sharing, Bill.
