The scene of a bizarre shootout in April 1921, in a pub between three off-duty RIC men and the ADRIC (Tans), who shot up the place with a Lewis gun (light machine gun). The shoot-out was witnessed by a Dr Cripps, who told his brother-in-law, Lord Parmoor, who stated what had happened in the House of Lords. It made the UK government realise the ADRIC were out of control.

I live there. It is so bizarre to see a post of the village on reddit.
Edit: Lived
the day the earth stood still, just with phones and cars
In the top picture houses probably worth a couple grand, in the bottom pic, houses worth over 200 grand!
