This is the story of how a 56 minute video
about the Story of Little Crosby, and its squires, the
Blundells, came to be made. It is the brainchild of a
local teacher who has had a thirty year fascination with
Little Crosby. When he was a schoolboy, he discovered an
old book in the school library which included a history
of Little Crosby. A little while later, he was required
to do a project on a topic of interest. He chose Little
Crosby, went there, compiled a scrapbook, and won a prize
for it. He later studied in Liverpool and graduated in
the early seventies.

The rediscovery of that same old book,
inspired him to make the film. He drew on all available
resources - including a cast of about 30 and Mark
Blundell, the Squire of Little Crosby himself. He mused
many months over how to tell the story, but in the end,
decided to tell it straight. It is the true story -
sometimes harrowing, sometimes amusing, but always
captivating.
