This book looks at the features of a village from its significant buildings, such as churches and village halls, to village greens and ponds, looking at the different types of home typical in a village to jobs people do, signs of the past and modes of transport. A map at the end of the book encourages map skills. Questions throughout ask the reader to find out more about what makes a village and encourages comparison between the place where they live and other types of location. Specially commissioned photographs show a wide range of types of village from across the UK.
