Welcome to Willerby
Willerby lies in a web of ancient Mercian roads close to the cross of old Watling Street and the Fosse.
​
We're small, quiet and unremarkable most of the time. There's a pub on the green by the river, a church built on the site of an older temple and a motte and bailey castle on top of the hill where the Roman watch tower used to be.
​
We bicker and squabble - about dog mess and rights of way and the bins - but we get on well enough most of the time.
​
But strange things happen here too.
​
We have more than the usual number of ghosts, aren't firmly tethered in time and are often visited by people from very far away.
​
We have many stories and you can find them all here, to read or to listen to.
​
Thank you for visiting us.
