In the book 'Adam Bede' (1859), George Eliot took the well-worn tale of a lovely dairy-maid seduced by a careless squire, and out of it created a wonderfully innovative and sympathetic portrait of the lives of ordinary Midlands working people - their labours and loves, their beliefs, their talk. The lovely 'Adam Bede' house still stands in Ellastone, 6 minutes walk away from Cross Farm.
