Yesterday (22 October) was the first anniversary of the tragic death of David Penney, last occupant of The Old Crow cottage at Willersley. It is also over five weeks since the building was sold by auction. I therefore decided to visit the cottage to see what progress has been made.

I have added a report on my findings as an update to the “Tumbledown Cottage” feature on my website at http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/specials/index.htm

The update, which includes two new photographs, is near the bottom of the webpage, under the heading “The Fate of the Old Crow”.
