Alice Capper (with her daughter-in-law, Katherine) lived at Cappers Mill until she died in 1918. Cappers Lane is named after the family which ran the Mill through the 19th century.

St Giles Church, early twentieth century. Whittington Court can be seen to the left of the church. It looks like a Victorian vicarage, but never served as such as far as we know. |
Whittington Old Hall - 1930s. The house dates back to before the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth and is a Grade 2* listed building. When renovations were underway in 1890, evidence was found of a timber-frame building behind the brick façade.
