| Heart of the village... | The diverse mix of people with different backgrounds, occupations, interests and aspirations - all linked by making their homes here. This is special to a village environment - not a feature of living in a town.. Geographically: Hendred Stores, Snells Hall the churches and pubs. | ||||
| Why East Hendred is special.... | An attractive village set in beautiful countryside (normally!). Good transport links. A thriving community. Small enough for people to greet each other as a matter of course when walking around the village. Our own three children were privileged to grow up here. | ||||
