Walk around guide. A small book of intricate detailed descriptions with photographs and drawings of the oldest and most interesting of the timber framed houses and pubs. The church and mill are
also mentioned. Nayland is one of the best preserved late-medieval villages in Britain, and this booklet is ideal for anyone wanting to know more; to
understand what lies behind the architectural veneer, and to learn something of the history of the village. Easy to read and clear directions. |

Tea Towel. The tea towel designed by Richard Bawden shows some well known and well-loved features of Nayland, including ancient carvings (such as the green man in the roof of St. James' Church and
window sill of the oriel window at Alston Court) and the topiary in the high street. The design was so successful and popular last year that we decided
to print some more. |

Postcards and Greetings Cards. The scene of Nayland and surrounding countryside was painted by John Nash when he lived with his brother, Paul, in Wormingford after the first world war. The view
is from Gravel Hill and looks towards Windy Ridge , the other side of the valley, in Essex, with St. James' Church with its original tower (exaggeratedly high) and houses in the foreground. The cedar trees in the
centre of the picture were destroyed by the hurricane in 1987. Much of the style of the village has not changed since John Nash's days in the 1920s. |
