High & Low LortonThere is a yew tree, pride of Lorton Vale... wrote Wordsworth in his poem Yew Trees, and astonishingly it's still there, behind the village hall of High Lorton. It was in its shade that the Quaker George Fox preached to a large gathering under the watchful eye of Cromwell's soldiers.In its ister village, Low Lorton, set beside the River Cocker, is Lorton Hall (private) which is reputed to be home to the ghost of a woman who carries a lighted candle. Less spectral guests in the past have included King Malcolm III of Scotland who stayed here with his queen while visiting the southern boundaries of his Kingdom of Strathclyde of which this area was a part. |
