Within the church is what is most likely to be an Anglo-Saxon sundial for more pictures and information see: http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kroch/scand/aldbrough.html
27 Church Street is a good example of a farm house in the middle of the village. Behind are the barns and so forth.
Carrying on along Church Street another example of the cottages number 36 is dated 1789. It is one of the 5 Listed building in the village.
Moore's the ironmonger / plumbers /electrician & builders, now sadly closed, have contributed to many of the developments in the village.
The bottom end of Church street is the village green. Although small it does provide a central focus point for the village. Around the green are a number of interesting buildings. Number 1 Church street, opposite the Village Green, is one of my favourites

Many of the older buildings in the Village (including Wentworth House) have
been built using local cobbles. This picture shows part of the Church and a
strange dragon carving, which is probably Saxon and salvaged from the original
church which fell into the sea many centuries ago. The clock and bells were
repaired in 2004 and now chime on the hour, day & night, so no-one has an excuse
for missing appointments!
