[typed label, bottom right:] MILL VILLAGE / Harris, Coventry Town / One of the largest and best preserved early villages. The date / is uncertain; but the houses, although certainly later than / those of about 1809 at Lippitt and about 1810 at Hope are / probably not as late as the mill of 1851. The site planning / of the group is as good as the design of the individual cottages. / Photo by Romano
