 Hall's Croft, in the delightful Lancashire village of Trawden, has been the  home of Ann for almost 30 years.  Her son, Tom, grew up here, but now  lives with his wife in San Francisco.   Ann's husband, Neil, is the 'new kid  on the block' whose work keeps him 'Down South' during the week .....  and not forgetting Fergus their lazy ginger cat who ruled the roost for  17  years and is now resting  peacefully under the pear tree in the  sunniest  part of the garden. 

 Trawden is on the outskirts of Colne, in the borough of Pendle.  Famous  for, amongst other things:

• • Pendle Hill

  • The Pendle Witches

  • Wallace Hartley, the bandleader who played as the Titanic went down

  • The annual Rythym & Blues festival

  • Wycoller Hall - Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

• Boundary Mill stores

 Being somewhat 'out on a limb', Trawden has managed to retain its  unique village identity. The Church, School, post office, doctor's surgery,  library, community centre and of course the pub, are all important  elements in this close knit community.
