Apropos statues, the pulling down thereof, and the offence some people like to take (as mentioned in the joke thread) I would like to propose that every building associated with Thomas Forman, the printer, be razed to the ground and every plaque that has been erected in his honour be wrenched from the walls and thrown into the Trent. My grandmother was a dark-skinned lady. Her actual origins were never spoken of in her grandchildren’s presence and it was only when granddad let something slip that we realised that her parents had had difficulty making a living due to the “colour-bar

You are none of those things, young Trogg! Don't let anyone tell you you are. We all forget things. Surely, a good marriage doesn't hinge on remembering the date it took place! I'm not married but if I had been, it certainly wouldn't have lasted 53 years! 53 minutes....maybe!

There is compelling evidence that Francis Lovel survived the battle, but died of his wounds shortly after and is buried in All Hallows Church, Gedling. http://www.allhallowsgedling.co.uk/francis-lovel.html This is only a taster of the research carried out by Ted White, one of the Friends of All Hallows. Me and the missus attended one of Ted’s talks in Lambley Church back when the world was normal, and it proved to be extremely interesting. If Lovel is indeed buried in All Hallows then his burial slab is to the right of the altar as you face it. A member of the Richard III Society ac

I am assisting the family of Mantons to find out more info on the company, but cannot see the map clear.
