For those wishing to know: in 1403 there was a major battle in the War of the Roses about four miles north of Shrewsbury, and King Henry 4th winning, he built a church to commemorate it. Rev. Fletcher was a local antiquarian and wrote about the church (which still exists), the battle etc. If you are in England then there's now a very nice Battlefield centre selling books etc., and also farm produce and an excellent cafe!

All the best,
David,
Sunny English with blue skies and a white, whispy clouds
