in a few days I will be in London for a short visit. My wife never was in
England and I would love to show her something of the old rural England.
Where should I go for an one day visit in an ancient english village?
Thank you for a tip.

Windsor isn't strictly a village, but the 'historic centre' is quite
compact. If going by train you could get off part-way and explore
Datchet.
