And Built a New Church NNWFHS JOURNAL January 2011 The village that moved – and built a new church How & why Baddesley Ensor moved south. Full story on page 15 This gravestone can be found in the derelict churchyard of the old village of Baddesley Ensor. The only access now is by footpath over fields. Nothing remains of the church and this is about the only legible monument left. Interestingly Lydia Evans died in 1855 so was buried here (to join her husband) after the old church had closed and the new one had opened.

Obituary Sadly I must report the death of Ray Clay in December 2010. Many of you will remember Ray as the Journal editor. He had learned desk-top publishing in order to produce a newsletter for the Alzheimer’s Society. He nursed his wife, who had Alzheimer’s disease for some years, and following her death used his desk-top publishing expertise to produce our Journal. He will be missed. Journal submissions. Contributions to the Journal are welcome. These can be of any length, (but if you submit something the size of ‘War and Peace’ the editor reserves the right to trim it a bit). Also any hints or tips you have picked up in your researches – let others benefit from your experience. Pictures to accompany articles are always welcome. If possible these should be scanned at 300dpi. If dpi means nothing to you, don’t worry, just scan it and send it in. 2 NNWFHS JOURNAL January 2011 Chairman’s report County Records Office open big!
