Apart from Quernmore itself the parish also includes Brow Top, once local crafts mecca, now mearly a cluster of barn conversions. Like a last outpost of civilisation before the Trough of Bowland. The village consists of a small number of residential properties nestled in the bottom of a small valley. The methodist chapel being the heart of the community. The local public house the Temperance Hotel being sold off by the brewery after many a landlord mysteriously handed in their notice. Telling tales of wicker giants, fires and singing.
