    Faces of The Village

    Lisa Scott, who took the photo above.

    Lisa has lived in the village with her husband for 23 years. Working from home as a web designer affords her the luxury of leisurely daily strolls through the village with her two lurchers and camera.

    Lisa has traced her family tree and been able to identify paternal ancestors from over 400 years ago from Newton Green. Her great great grandfather was a shepherd in Boxted in 1877.

    Lisa belongs to a local photography group Creative Shots and finds it a great way to develop her photography skills with like minded enthusiasts. New members are always warmly welcomed.
