More about this scene
The parish of Overton lies five miles south-west of Lancaster on the road to Sunderland Point. Tucked away in a very secluded corner below Heysham, this little village was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Ovretun; the name turns up very frequently in old documents, usually mentioning the church or a curate. The lovely old church here still retains its original Norman doorway. Overton means 'dwellings by (next to) the water', and the village used to flood at every high spring or autumn tide.
