More about this scene

Today this is the annexe for Goostrey's primary school, which now occupies a larger site across the road. The tower of St Luke's Church rises just beyond (centre) – local legend states that a yew tree in the churchyard was used to make archers' bows in the Hundred Years War. Cheshire's bowmen were the best in England, and land here was granted to two archers in 1365 following the Battle of Poitiers.
