St Cuthbert's in Peaseholme Green now used as an admin centre for ST Michael Le Belfrey church has tenuouos links with General Wolfe of Quebec. His parents worshipped in this church whilst they stayed in the Black Swan Inn across the road. The Black Swan is considered as being the likeliest place where General Wolfe was conceived!

Black Swan Inn - Peaseholme Green
I do enjoy timbered buildings. The Black Swan is an old Inn with a curious interior. It is thought that although General Wolfe did not live here he was probably conceived here whilst his parents were staying in the Inn. Nowadays the pub provides a good venue for various musical events including a folk night on Thursdays and also Jazz nights.
