Priory statue inspires a Summer of Stories
Runcorn Weekly News
|June 19, 2025
NORTON Priory's giant medieval St Christopher statue, which once featured in a popular children's book, has inspired a wonderful Summer of Stories at the Runcorn Museum and Gardens visitor attraction.
The impressive sandstone statue, which has adorned the site since 1390, features in Lucy Boston's 1950s novels about The Children of Green Knowe, which inspired a 2009 feature film From Time to Time by Julian Fellows, starring Dame Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville.
A selection of the Green Knowe artefacts belonging to Lucy Boston, including her original manuscript, books, posters and her Carnegie Medal, will be on display throughout the summer in the main gallery.
