More about this scene

The name of the Crispin Inn in Great Longstone recalls one of the village's former specialities, boot and shoe making - St Crispin is the patron saint of that trade. Great Longstone's boots and shoes were made for the many local people who practiced a dual economy of farming and lead mining.
