Anyone know more about the challis ( Holy Grail) and Shropshire?


You'll be thinking of the grail window at Hodnett church (St Lukes) and the object found hidden in an old statue in nearby Hawkstone Park. If my memory serves me right it is an egg-cup like soapstone object, identified as Roman 1st century and used for annointing oil.

By the way, put me in pedants corner if you like, but the bridge you refer to is actually the world's oldest CAST iron bridge, erected in 1779. Other claims have been made from around the world but that one we can claim.
