EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the quintessential charm of rural England in the 1910s, as depicted in the picturesque village of Over in Cambridgeshire. Nestled near the charming hamlet of Willingham, this idyllic scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The Village of Over, located in the English county of Cambridgeshire, is a quaint and historic settlement that has retained much of its original character. The image showcases the village's charming cottages with thatched roofs, their ivy-covered walls and red brick chimneys standing proud against the clear blue sky. The cobblestone streets, lined with ancient trees and lush greenery, add to the sense of tranquility and timeless beauty. The village's rich history can be traced back to the Doomsday Book, making it an essential piece of English heritage. Its name, Over, is believed to have originated from the Old English word 'efer' meaning 'beyond,' likely referring to its location beyond the nearby town of Willingham. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the simple pleasures of rural life, where the passage of time seemed to move more slowly, and community spirit thrived. The Village of Over, with its captivating charm and enduring history, continues to be a beloved destination for those seeking a taste of England's past.
