Edward I of England
Edward I (17 June 1239 – 7 July 1307), also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots, was King of England from 1272 to 1307. The first son of Henry III, Edward was involved early in the political intrigues of his father's reign, which included an outright rebellion by the English barons. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the Provisions of Oxford. After reconciliation with his father, however, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the Second Barons' War. After the Battle of Lewes, Edward was hostage to the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and joined the fight against Simon de Montfort. Montfort was defeated at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and within two years the rebellion was extinguished. With England pacified, Edward left on a crusade to the Holy Land. The crusade accomplished little, and Edward was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed that his father had died. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and he was crowned king at Westminster on 19 August.

According to wiki (and how could wiki be WRONG?), this artist was born on October 13, 1946 and was given the name of Jill Byrem. I have no insight into her metamorphosis from Byrem to Croston and then to Lacy J. Dalton, but her first album was self-titled "Jill Croston"; recorded and released in 1978 under the Harbor label. It did not make the charts. This song has lived in the periphery of my consciousness since first hearing it on an obscure radio show. After 1980 under the name Lacy J. Dalton she had several songs hit the charts, but "The Snake Song" will always remain my personal favorite. So, here you go. Have a listen and tell me what you think.

History
Croston began in the 7th century when St. Aidan arrived at the riverside settlements. In the absence of a church, a cross erected as a place of worship. Croston gets its name from 'cross' derived from the Irish and the Scandinavian word 'tun' which means town (cross-town). It is unique as there are no other Crostons in the UK.Centuries ago the parish of Croston was far larger than it is today . It included Chorley, Much Hoole, Rufford, Bretherton, Mawdesley, Tarleton, Hesketh Bank, Bispham, Walmer Bridge and Ulnes Walton. A charter granted by Edward I in 1283 permitted an annual medieval fair and market to be held on the village green. Ancient maps also depict a castle which is believed to have been of a wooden construction because there is no evidence of a stone structure.
Croston used to have a large brick police station which has recently been refurbished. It was replaced by a smaller police station in the 1970s. It is similar in style to those in the surrounding areas, notably Bamber Bridge and Leyland police stations, however considerably smaller.
Croston Hall
Croston Hall was built by the De Trafford family and was the manor house to the village of Croston. The Hall was demolished in the 1960s, but there is a plan for a Country House hotel to be built on its site. The family was Roman Catholic, they built a church in the grounds of the house, it was left to the people of Croston on the death of the last De Trafford in the 1960s.
Croston Old School
Croston Old School is a Grade 2 listed building which originates from 1660. It is situated in the centre of the village at the end of Church Street and next to the 900 year old church. Until 1999 the buildings were used as a school. Croston Old School Community Trust's grant from the National Lottery for £481,062 has funded the majority of a scheme to create a Community Resource Centre for Croston.The building provides:
