Every time I come back to visit family, another part of the village's character seems to have been removed. It appears to be a symptom of the changing priorities of people moving into the village. London commuters with no ties to the village don't use the shops or pubs and don't need local bus services, but they do care about house prices. I sincerely hope that this apparent "gentrification" of the village green has not been done to serve those for whom house prices are of greater concern than community.

Little Harrowden was not a great place to grow up because it looked pretty or because everyone was propery rich. It was a great place to grow up because of the community, a great deal of which centred around that bench...
