Mells

Picturesque village of historic interest with artistic connections.The lovely setting and unusually large number of listed buildings have resulted in a large part of the village being designated as a Conservation Area. A stroll around will reveal work by Lutyens, Burne Jones, Munnings and William Nicholson, particularly within the church and churchyard. Siegfried Sassoon, the war poet, is buried in the churchyard.

On the edge of the village are the remains of the Fussells edge tool works leading to a pleasant riverside walk.

Once a year the village hosts a street fair and varied entertainment at Mells Daffodil Day.
