More about this scene
An ancient settlement, Castle Hill near the church of St Wilfrid is the site of both Saxon and Roman fortifications. A Roman altar was discovered near the church in 1794, and in the 18th century a necklace and a hoard of coins were found, now in the British Museum. We can see 17th- and 18th-century houses in this scene. On clear days it is possible to see the rugged Forest of Bowland skyline - Wardstone, Clougha Pike and the neighbouring summits.
