A '''model village''' was a term used in the [[Victorian era]] to mean an ideal community. They were initially created in the 18th century by the landed gentry to provide good housing for the workers on their estates, and also to ensure that workers' cottages would no longer spoil views of the landscape. Examples of modern villages included [[Bournville]], [[Port Sunlight]], [[Blaise Hamlet]] and [[Sweetville]].
