More about this scene
This substantial hotel and public house takes its name from the Berkeley family, who lived nearby at Cranford House. Their great house was pulled down in the 1930s, and only a few tombs in the parish church are there to remind us of how powerful this local family once were.

We would catch tiddlers, leaches, just having great fun. ...see more
