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…”

Miss it already! Doesn’t get any better than getting a personal tour of that area from Mr. and Mrs. GarrryRF!

Hard to gauge the size of this village.  About how long does it take you to get around (not counting the pub stops)?

I’m surprised there is no ale house.  Most of the catholics I have known have no objection to a pint of beer or a nip of scotch.

But it does seem to be a very pretty place to go for a walk. Thanks for sharing this with us Garry.
