unusual facts about Talbot Village


Talbot Village

Talbot Village was created to provide housing for the unemployed parishioners of Kinson; it stands apart from model villages such as the Cadbury family's Bourneville which were built to house workers, who would then be able to perform their jobs with greater efficiency: the Talbot sisters received no financial return from their residents for having set up the village.
