Background
Trusley is a very small village/parish in Derbyshire, England.
The centre of Trusley has: a church, a Manor, an Old Hall, an Old Rectory, two farms and 5 cottages.
There are a few more farms and cottages scattered round the parish but our population is a few dozen, not a few hundred.
Nothing much was happening here at the time of The Domesday Book - and nothing much is happening now - we are very pleased to say! Our population seems to have fallen since Domesday and certainly since 1891 when Kelly's directory lists it as 92! That would be huge compared with modern day Trusley.
The most exciting event of 2006/2007 has been the arrival and wanderings of "Bill & Ben" (sometimes known as "Bonnie & Clyde") - two hand-reared sheep who seem to have bonded with one another and with humans. The result is that no garden or kitchen is safe from their incursions! One is male, the other female but "Bill & Ben" has stuck! Their habit of leaving "deposits" has not endeared them to some - but they are very friendly!
If you get the impression that Trusley is a very quiet place - you would be right! If you hanker for night-life, or even the bright lights of a lonely street light, as found in the nearby village of Radbourne, then Trusley is not the place for you. We have a post box - what more could we want? (Well, getting the roadside drain replaced would be nice - maybe in another couple of hundred years ...)
