My latest post discusses the remarkable Nanny Morgan, whose legacy has been marred by folklore. She was a fascinating woman who didn't deserve her fate, who suffered stereotyping in both life and death. She deserves to be remembered as a person rather than a witch. I've completely rewritten this article to reflect new research. I really hope you enjoy this lengthy but important post.

I made my first ever batch of Soul Cakes today! Hopefully, they'd get the approval of Mrs Ward or Mrs Gill, who continued the tradition on in their little parts of Shropshire 💚

Yesterday, I went to see one of Shropshire’s hidden gems, the 'Bayeux Tapestry of England'. In All Saints Church, Claverley. Spanning more than 15 metres in length, these lovely paintings date from the 13th century. The knights seem to leap to life. I was in awe ✨️

My latest post discusses the remarkable Nanny Morgan, whose legacy has been obscured by folklore. A victim of stereotyping in life and death, she deserves to be better understood. This article is the sum of about 2 years of research. I've completely rewritten it to reflect this. I really hope you enjoy this lengthy but important post.

This is the grave of Shropshire's last Sin Eater- Richard Munslow. I'm fascinated by the Sin Eater's place in folklore - a person who exists outside of the boundaries of the community, yet necessary for its spiritual safety. You can read about shropshires last Sin Eater by following the link below

In much of Shropshire, the magpie is seen as a negative omen. However, in Edgmond and parts of Shrewsbury, the bird was incredibly lucky, and wishes made under the protection of the bird were sure to come true. ✨️
