The day |I visited Weston Underwood there was a  big Fete going  on with loads of ribbons and dressed up figures scattered all over the village e.g Postman Pat figure outside the old post office----a very, very posh looking village---the dead in the local churchyard would be quite shocked to know only rich  people resided in their village now--commuters in stoke broker country--no farm labourers in tied cottages--these cottages are now worth a fortune----it was like entering a secret garden---a walled village--ultra neat and tidy---a bit unreal really--like a rural showroom---not a comfortable feeling passing thru here--I felt like a trespasser, anintruder---BUT a 170 years ago the Lockwood Family lived here--some emigrated to NZ and Australia, others moved to London to find work and left the beauty of the quiet countryside for the polluted Isle of Dogs
