Small village approximately 1 mile away from Saffron Walden.
Used to have a village shop called 'Lord's Stores'. This shop was run by an old lady called Miss Lord who never ordered new stock, and therefore had cans of baked beans from the 1940s on her shelves. I seem to remember a story about burglars trying to break in here, but Miss Lord fending them off by throwing baked bean tins at them.
Miss Lord also used to play the organ in the village church, which created some awkward moments because she was quite deaf.
Lord's Stores was torn down soon after Miss Lords died a few years ago, which was a sad day for the village.
Sewards End also used to feature several village pubs, the last of which was called the Green Dragon. However, this went out of business some time ago and was torn down to be replaced by a housing development called 'Dragon's Green'. See what they did there?
