The village of Wentworth appears to be frozen in time, with strict regulations ensuring that it honours its heritage.
A picturesque village that works hard to honour its heritage "forces" residents to have their doors painted the same colour. Wentworth is tucked away in the rolling hills near Rotherham, and is known for its history and architectural beauty.
Unlike the vast majority of British settlements, the hamlet has no takeaways or neon shop signs - there isn't even a supermarket. There is, however, a village shop, providing sandwiches, milk, jam, and various essentials, as well as two pubs and a restaurant. The 1,400 residents are mostly tenants, as they are unlikely ever to own their properties, which are run by the trust. Matt said: “There’s lots of people who have lived here their entire lives. They were born here and they’ll die here.
Zoe, who believes that "you have to go with change", said: “They stick to the old traditions of village fetes and things like that. It’s very much an old traditional village. There are new people coming in who have got a lot of new ideas, but they still keep the village traditions.” “We explain how we operate and what they can expect from us and how we have a building surveyor employed, and he has assistants or technicians, and they can go to them for repairs and also for bigger issues. Or if they want to make alterations, they can come to us and we’ll have a discussion about it.”
