BOWERCHALKE
WAS THEIR WORLD -

*Scented roses flourish in well-bred gardens; burglar alarms gleam on the walls. It's a pleasant spot to wander though on a sunny June morning. And yet by the ancient test of what a village needs to be a real village, Bowerchalke fails. No school any more; no pub; no shop. Of the four focal points that bind a village together, only the church remains.*
