Forton, Rectory 1902

Hubble/Hubbal

Does anyone know of Flatt Lodge in Edgmond as quoted from the 1871 Census with Hubbal's living there? I am unable to find it on any map.

Bullocks Row

Does anyone know of a place in Edgmond called Bullocks Row? My great grandmother Ada Charlotte Fox was living there in 1881 but I have been unable to find this address on any map. Any information or photos of this place would be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone even knows the family? She was the daughter of Thomas Fox and Charlotte Lea

Statue not sighted

I had a message late Sept 2006 from Lilleshall resident of 60 years Anthony Ardis saying he was unaware of the statue.  I replied to you Athnony but the Frith system did not want to accept it.  People are welcome to email me direct at pweaver@westnet.com.au  Kind regards, Paul.

John Weaver Lilleshall sculptor

John Weaver is shown as being a stonemason on the 1827 Lilleshall baptism certificate of his son Alfred Weaver.

A family anecdote says that John Weaver took commissions for monumental sculptures and that after a statue of a horse and rider was unveiled it was noticed that he had omitted the girth straps for the saddle. This caused considerable ridicule from others and eventually depressed him so much that he took his own life by shooting himself.

I have long wondered if somewhere in or near Lilleshall there is such a statue?
