The house on the right hand side of the picture, Greenfields, is my family home. When my father laid a new oak block floor in the hall, we put a 'time capsule' in the form of a box under the new floor. It contained such articles as photographs of the family, coins and other such things of the era. He... [more]

The 1901 census shows my grandmother Emma Mainwaring, then aged 14, working as a domestic servant at Kenwicks Park.

Chirbury was the home of Lord Herbert, an Elizabethan philosopher, diplomat and keen historian. He collected a large library of chained books (the books were chained to their shelves so that they could not be taken away) which he bequeathed to the villagers. The books are now kept in the main library in Shrewsbury.
