Battlefield Church, Salop, by W. G. Dimock Fletcher 62225 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/2/62225 ] [Files: 62225-0.txt; 62225-h.htm] 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
