More about this scene
Westway leads us up to the elevated village dominated at the crest by a castle and Crake Hall. Here we see (from right to left) Weston Cottage, Old Timbers, the Little Homestead and at the top, the Durham Ox pub. Then turning left up Church Hill we pass the old post office on the way to Crake Hall below the church, and the Old Rectory. The only part of the much-rebuilt Norman Castle that remains is the Tower House and Great Chamber. William Inge was born here in 1860; he later became a controversial Dean of St Paul's Cathedral. He died in 1954, and a plaque recalls his life as a 'scholar, philosopher and writer.'
