Cricket the Traditional English Village Way

This picture was taken out of the car window on our way home. It just looked like a scene out of what I always imagine is a traditional English village in the 19th century.

This is a picture of Bradenham Manor which is at the centre of Bradenham village with the local cricket team playing on the village green as they have probably done for many years!

Looks like something from "old times". Good one, especially considering you took it from the car!
