An Interesting Look at the Flags of English Villages

In this blog post we are going to take a look at the flags of villages throughout England which are residential communities that are bigger than a hamlet but smaller than a town that generally have a population of between a few hundred to a few thousand. We checked out the different English village flags and noticed that some of them had very interesting and cool designs and thought they were worth sharing so we have put together this post with high quality pictures of them along with brief descriptions of the villages from Wikipedia for you to check out.
