What to see

Wool has relatively recently grown enormously and the road through is now dominated by modern housing estates. The old village is best seen in Spring Street where a little stream runs alongside the road. Lots of 18th or 19th century cottages, either cob or a mixture of heathstone, limestone or brick continue round to the church of the Holy Rood, which is well worth a visit.
