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.

Hi,
  I was born and breed willenhall and am still 1 mile away now. Willenhall was mostly known for the Lock industry and employing 2 or 4 people in their own backyards, if not others their own family's.
I cum from a family of Locksmith's dating back from the early 1500s from willenhall, new invention, willenhall, wolverhampton and tipton and darlaston.
My family was the Duncombe's married to squire's who had been going for 300yrs, Parkes, Dowens, Tuckleys, Applebys and so on we're all connected.
Willenhall was also known for the people being hunched backed and resting their backs in an hole in the wall, alot of people are still like it today.

                                                  Ruby


We must be related Ruby

I am not far from Willenhall either and have birch tarbuck squire Parkes duncome etc in my tree too x
