'I am a daughter of Iron.
The guardian of lost spaces
And villages of bone.
I am a ghost, stood at the crossroads,
Longing to be home'

Astley Abbot's Church contains the remains of a 'maiden garland'. Heart shaped and decorated with cloth and ribbons, It exists in memory of Hannah Phillips. #folklore states she drowned on the eve of her wedding in May 1709. She still haunts the local area in her wedding dress.

Whilst you walk, thank the landscape for its beauty. Speak to the spirits that inhabit the space. Respect those who have come before you and listen deeply, for they might have a lesson or two ✨️

Today is #Nationalparanormalday, and I want to remember the story of Polly Mayo's. Failed by those who should have loved her, she is more than a ghost. Polly deserved to play and laugh and grow up to be a young woman.

I still can't believe I found out where she is buried. It still makes me emotional. When I started this journey, I hoped to rewrite her legacy and emphasise her humanity. Sometimes, behind the Folklore and stereotypes is a far more interesting story ✨️

In Shropshire, it was the tradition for farmers to leave off work as soon as they heard the first cuckoo of spring.

They would devote that day to merrymaking and drinking, especially 'Cuckoo Ale'. It was a great day for the community.

They say 'a Shropshire Mon is nivver lost if he can see the Wrekin', and this remarkable place is far more than a hill. It serves as a symbol of Shropshire, its history and people, and of home 💚
