    EAST SHROPSHIRE CHURCH TRAIL I SPY SHEET (1 OF 2) Tick the boxes on the left as you find them! ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - KNIGHT FALLING OFF HIS HORSE There are a few of these, all of them not very good at jousting! The paintings in the nave (the central part of the church) and the pictures look a bit like the pictures on the Bayeaux Tapestry, but they’re probably not about the Battle of Hastings. They could be about a famous Emperor called Charlemagne who had lots of stories told about him in the Middle Ages. ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - AN ANGEL AND A TREE Near this tree you’ll see a hole in the wall at the bottom. Through the hole you’ll see an older part of the church which has been rebuilt more recently. The church is 800 years old after all and has been made bigger and repaired lots of times since the beginning. ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SKELETON This image is part of a bigger painting done during the 1300s. It shows a woman, a skeleton and a man with a horn. The woman is supposed to be a portrayal of one of the Seven Deadly Sins (seven of the worst attributes Christians think you can have). The deadly nature of these sins is illustrated by the skeleton… and what he looks like he’s going to do with his spear! ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SWORD SHARPENING MARKS The area around Bridgnorth saw a lot of fighting during the English Civil War (1642- 1651). The dents are supposed to be from soldiers, getting ready to fight a small battle, sharpening their swords on a wall.

  • A Biography of Edward De Vere, 17Th Earl of Oxford, from Documentary Evidence
    OXFORD’S BIOGRAPHY 1 ________________________________________________________________________ IDENTIFYING EDWARD DE VERE: A BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD DE VERE, 17TH EARL OF OXFORD, FROM DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE INTRODUCTION Portrayals of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, in print, on film, and on the internet in the last century contain inaccuracies of both fact and interpretation. This biography attempts to separate fact from fiction, and is based, insofar as possible, on primary sources. Transcriptions of many of these primary source documents can be found on the Documents page of this website: http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/documents.html The biography contains numerous page references to B.M. Ward’s The Seventeenth Earl of Oxford 1550-1604 From Contemporary Documents, and to Alan Nelson’s Monstrous Adversary. Nelson closely followed Ward, and these page references will permit readers to see where the two accounts diverge and interpretations differ. Both are accessible online. Throughout the biography, references to entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography identify persons with whom the Earls of Oxford interacted. In the absence of references to these ODNB entries, many of these individuals would otherwise be unknown to most modern readers who are not historians of the period, and their connections to the Earls of Oxford would be obscured. The ODNB is available online by subscription. Some of the material on the 17th Earl of Oxford in this biography can also be found in the Wikipedia entry for him, as that Wikipedia entry is largely the result of an extensive edit in November and December 2010 by the author of this biography.

It is of particular interest in the history of St Helens since the Gerards were Lords of the Manor of Windleshaw, one of the four manors out of which the town was constituted in 1868. The Gerard family is also espec- ially noted as having at least five of its members so prominent in the Counter-Reformation that one has been beatified and another canonised.
