More about this scene
In this picture we can see the small stream that runs down from Waddington Fell and the Moorcock Inn as it runs right through the centre of the village to join the Ribble. It was at Waddington Old Hall that Henry VI took refuge after leaving Bolton-by-Bowland, and it was here that he was betrayed and captured in nearby Clitheroe Wood. The church of St Helen, with its 15th-century tower, can be seen on the skyline. It was largely rebuilt, but in keeping with the original style, in 1901. Many of the Parker family from nearby Browsholme Hall are buried here in the church, and they have their own chapel and pews.
