And no James it wasn't the Cuckoo clock in the Hallway! |

There was however a White Hart Inn about 100 yards up the road from us until a few years ago when it was converted into cottages. Everything around here gets bunched together into one big area "moors". |

A heritage of Inn Keepers & Butchers! |
