Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave.

Poor pensioner my arse, he turned up once a week and said "Sorry I've forgotten my sandwiches, see you next week".

Like "marriage" it's not a word. It's a sentence.

Not quite to the rules but both bloomin' road signs in this hamlet are on a road with nowhere to stop! As it is I risked life and limb to stand in the middle of the carriageway and take a pic! I have included a picture of the 'powder monkey' who I carry around just to prove we were there!

Did you pop in to the Lime Kiln on your way to Catsgore

Dibsey · « **Reply #294 on:** July 29, 2019, 13:26:04 »

I didn't know it existed! Any good?
We ended up riding out to the levels and having a shandy at the The Sheppey in Old Godney!

Only ever used it for a meal with the family about 2/3 years ago it was good then but who knows now

Didn't head up to Slaggyford due to time, so we thought we'd visit Crackpot as it was closer and it's on the list.

Unfortunately it's a 2 house village with no sign so we went back to the last road sign with the name. Hopefully it'll be sufficient.

Crackpot was described by a resident as once a booming place with a school but judging by the age of the residents that school was demolished many moons ago
One of the houses is a bed and breakfast so at weekends the population may boom from time to time

Easy one for me, as I work on Mincing Lane!

Now for the bonus find.

Undershaft, more importantly, Hiscox Undershaft! And just round the corner was St Andrew's Undershaft!
