Hello Viktoria,
Thank you so much for your replies about Lord's Hill Chapel. You gave me a lot of information that I did not know. I did recently visit the Chapel, whist visiting my Parents, and you are right , it is in the most beautiful situation. I love the area, where my Dad was born and brought up.(Well at White Gritt actually, but all was within wondering distance to him and his brothers!)
I did not find anything there, or at Sheve grave -wise and Shelve has no burial record of Thomas either. Thomas was a miner who died of tuberculosis. It is a shame that some of the records seem to have gone missing. As far as I can tell from future generations Thomas was likely to have been Non Conformist.
I have seen the Gone to Earth DVD and the scenery and filming of it is wonderful. Dad thinks that some of it is Pontesford Hill as well as the Stiperstones and the Lords Hill area of course.
It always makes me very homesick whenever I think of it all!!
I must try to pop into the Shropshire Archives next time I visit family if I get the chance.
Many Thanks again for your reply. Best Wishes Jan.
