‘We named our shed ‘Crackpot Hall’ after our favourite walk in Swaledale, yorkshire dales.
Just like our shed, it’s not a grand mansion as the name suggests, but originally built as a humble farmhouse.
The name ‘Crackpot’ has part Scandinavian origins from the Viking occupation of the Dale. The Norse word “Pot” means deep hole & the word Crack has Olde English origins & translates as Crow.’
Whilst your here Take a look at the great collection of odd things John & Gillian have inside their shed.
The Lettings Officer at Wellesbourne allotments conducts regular plot inspections, keeping all the plot holders on their toes & one of the reasons why our site looks so fantastic !
