Lionlodge Covert

Hazeldene, Great Haywood Somewhat confusingly, the name Hazeldene is used for two separate but parallel streets leading off Little Tixall Lane. The houses in this view are on the more westerly of the two and this road leads to Uplands. The name derives from Hazeldene House which was once occupied by the village doctor but was demolished in 1975. To add to the confusion there is now a Hazeldene House Surgery in Great Haywood but that is not on either of the Hazeldenes. — Hazeldene, Great Haywood Credit: Stephen McKay

Oldfields Crescent, Great Haywood

Parts of Great Haywood are quite suburban in appearance including this street of semi-detached houses on the northern edge of the village.

St. Peter's Church, Hixon

The 19th century parish church of Saint Peter is a Grade II listed building, in the early English Gothic style and was designed and built by the English Gothic revival architect George Gilbert Scott. The site for the church was given by Lord Talbot and had previously been occupied by a windmill: this gives the church an unusual location on high ground, away from the road, on the edge of the village. The foundation stone was laid by the Marchioness of Lothian in July 1846. The Church was consecrated on St. Peter's Day 1848 (Tuesday, 29 June) by the then Bishop of Lichfield, John Lonsdale. The church is part of the combined Mid-Trent Churches benefice of the Diocese of Lichfield, covering ten churches across eight parishes. Link

Farley Cottage, near Great Haywood

This is an old two up two down cottage that has been extensively modernised. In the 1890's my father born here, my thanks go to the present occupiers for letting me look around.
