    A Journey In Time Through Goosnargh, Whittingham & Inglewhite
    • The redevelopment of Whittingham Hospital brings to light the rich historical tapestry of Goosnargh and Whittingham, a region with roots tracing back to the Domesday Book of 1086. The narrative explores the enduring legacy of landmarks like St. Mary's Church and Bushells Hospital while reminiscing about the community's vibrant past, including local traditions, eccentric figures, and events like Harvest Festivals and bull baiting. It draws inspiration from Richard Cookson, a key chronicler of the area, to vividly depict life in the 19th century and beyond.
