What is Stromford?

Stromford is Crispin's village, where he was born and grew up. It is a small village with a church, situated near a manor house which belongs to Lord Furnival. Stromford and the surrounding land also belong to Lord Furnival. The peasants who work on the land are in a form of bondage called serfdom. This means that they are attached to the land and are not supposed to leave. Crispin's mother was held prisoner in Stromford by Lord Furnival, who made her pregnant and wanted to hide this. When Crispin is declared a wolf's head he escapes the village at night.
