Small traditional English village, near Salisbury,
Wiltshire, England
English villages are known throughout the world for their beauty.
The most English villages were founded at the time of Anglo Saxon
settlement, and in the early Middle Ages, between 700 and 1300AD. The
Saxons, unlike the Romans who they superceded, were not an urban people.
Once the Romans left early in the fifth century, their cities and towns
were abandoned, to be replaced by rural settlements.
