English villages are not all alike, but in some ways they are not different from one another. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard, where people are buried.
The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house.
