Hi Razzle, those villages are in Northamptonshire, not Nottinghamshire.  ;)

hi razzle dazzle
the three horse shoes pub is still there, coincidentally right across from the pub is an old stone building now a private home, when i was growing up in the 70s it was a sweet shop but previously it was the local blacksmiths. there are a couple of photos from around 1900 on picturethepast.com just search leabrooks or somercotes.
google earth will show what it looks like now.
 i hope this is of interest for you
best regards

Thank you, gig! Now I am wondering if my husband's ancestor may have worked at that blacksmith's!  :)

Hi Razzle, I've looked on old-maps.co.uk and there are maps of 1880, 1884 showing the area as just enclosed fields, then later maps from 1900 showing the cemetery.
