You could be forgiven for thinking you are back in the 16th Century when you walk up Church Lane on its cobbled surface.  Scene of many period films, and television appearances, the lane leads past the Council Offices and presents you with a beautiful view of  St Michael and All Angels spire. You will certainly need your camera for this beautiful image.
