Elsewhere in The Village
Within the village there are two fine public houses. The Royal Oak at the top of High Street and The White Lion, which is opposite All Saints Church. The latter was formally named after one of its landlords, Charlie Bassett and was originally known as the Colliers Arms. Another pub which closed a few years ago was the Rose and Crown near Foxfield Colliery in the Godley Brook area.
Dilhorne Hall was the ancestral home of the Buller family who were noted in the legal profession in London during the 19th Century.
There is also a small primary school in the village, the Dilhorne Endowed School which has a very good reputation locally.

Famous quotes containing the word village:
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
