The Village, Tipton St John, is a quintessential English village, with its charming thatched cottages, winding lanes, and lush green fields. The village's name derives from the Old English 'Tigedun' meaning 'farmstead of Ticco's people.'

The village church, St John the Baptist, can be seen in the background, a reminder of the strong spiritual connection that has long been a part of this community. The Village, Tipton St John, has a long and fascinating history. It was once a significant center for the production of cider, with many of the village's residents working in the apple orchards.

Despite the passage of time, The Village, Tipton St John, has managed to preserve its unique character and charm. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its beautiful scenery, rich history, and friendly community.
