History, Lore and Legends of Greystoke

Village History

We are starting to collect memories, and stories from the past. Our great Facebook community is one place where a lot of those discussions happen, with people contributing memories on a huge variety of topics from sledging through hedges, exploring lost tunnels, and, of course, ghosts and ghouls. We hope you enjoy reading about some of these topics below. Over time we will add more stories, recollections, photographs and maps.
