More about this scene
Still pleasantly rural, with views of woods and the distant Bowland Fells, this village stands near Wennington Hall, where Peter Hesketh, founder of Fleetwood-on-Wyre was born. The village still holds an annual fair and a Scarecrow Festival. On the main street stands Holy Trinity Church, built in 1840. The village experienced serious flooding in 1967 – flooding is always a threat, and cottagers use flood boards at their front doors. Quarrying, hand nail making, clog making and top-hat making have all gone, but one craft remains: swill (basket) making.
