A Walk Over Several Days Image 6

After leaving the area of the Old Vicarage we then enter the hamlet of Crosscanonby. I have looked up the meaning of Crosscanonby and this is the result.
The earliest form of the name was 'Crosseby' (1123–50), from the Old Norse "'krossa býr' meaning 'bȳ (village, hamlet) marked by crosses'. The name 'Crosscanonby' results from the gift of land in Crosby with the church to the canons of Carlisle.
The lane on the left of the image goes to sewage works and then onto the land owned by Maryport Golf Club. From where this shot was taken it is only approximately 40 yds to the Church. However, I took a short cut from the lane on the left...The next image will show you what I saw..
