More about this scene
It was near here in June 1839 that a passenger on a boat to London, Mrs Christina Collins, was brutally beaten, raped and murdered. Her body was dragged out of the canal two days later at the Bloody Steps in Rugeley, where her grave can be seen in the churchyard. Two of the crew were hanged and another transported.

My father, James E Bond, captained the Colwich Swifts for at least two seasons, and the team won the league in 1949. Jim played at Right Half. This memory was shared by Jim's friend Bill Fox.
