Old English villages are pretty with their picturesque cottages. English villages are not all alike, but in some ways they are not very different from each other. The village green is a wide stretch of grass, often with a road along each side of it. The houses or cottages are built round the green with the road in front of them near their garden gates. On the green there is usually a pump or a well from which the villagers can draw water/ at present day many villagers have water brought in pipes into each home.
English cottages are pretty. English people are fond of gardening. They do their best to make their gardens look lovely.
There are few shops in a village. There may be only one shop. It is a “general store” and sells almost everything that people need in their homes. The shopkeeper is often postmaster as well, and he sends telegrams and sells stamps.
Fortunately most villages are not far away from some small towns. So people can go there to buy what they cannot find in the village shop.
Most of the men of the village are farmers. But there may be a shoemaker, a baker, an innkeeper, and perhaps a doctor and a policeman.
Village life has changed very much. What remains unchanged, fortunately, is the natural beauty of the country – the hills, the trees, the fields, the woods, the flowers.
