Mamble is an ancient
village with a mixture of half-timber, brick and 20th
century houses with scattered houses and farms further
afield. The main buildings are the beautiful Norman
church, the village hall and the old coaching inn.
Although the village is
found in a rural setting, the surrounding countryside
offers clues to both past mining activity and a disused
canal. The village is, also, the Mamble referred to by
John Drinkwater in his popular poem 'Mamble'.
