Gallery Villages
In these days of ever increasing urbanization the English village is an escape into the past. There are thousands of villages, I've probably painted a couple of hundred. Each county has its own style of building and there is usually a general harmony in the building styles. My favourite villages are in Herefordshire with their timber-framed houses and inns and usually a Saxon Church to act as a focal point.
