Little Crosby - 17th Century Village

Just thought I'd share my enjoyable walk for a Sunday afternoon.

This is Little Crosby Village.  8 miles north of Liverpool UK. Today.

It's an odd sort of village. It helps if you're Roman Catholic if you want to live there.

You'll be vetted by the local squire before you can move into the Village.

The village character has changed little from a 17th-century description that "it had not a beggar, ..an alehouse .. or a Protestant in it..."

DrF !!!!!

The village still has no beggars - no alehouses - no protestants !

Its only a recent decision to have electricity into the village. 

You can see the village in an hour  - its only small.

But you can follow the ancient footpaths through the farmland.

See the wild fox, geese and birds of prey that live there.

Or walk down to the beach.
