I expect the copper mines were closing just as the coal mines were opening. Interestingly the other side of her family moved from Gloucestershire to Birmingham and all worked in the jewellery industry, I do find family history fascinating. It was a joy to find the mouse:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-11809098425277483842019-08-02T13:43:35.573+01:002019-08-02T13:43:35.573+01:00It looks like a solidly built church and it's ...It looks like a solidly built church and it's lovely when people are helpful when doing some family history research. It's interesting to know that your friend's ancestors followed a similar life's path as my family. My great greats on the maternal side left the mines of Cornwall and the border with Devon, went to find work in Cumbria and then ended up in a mining community in Northumberland. I'm glad you found a Thompson mouse carving! The marble base to the font is wonderful.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-12767090470070675992019-08-01T08:44:03.601+01:002019-08-01T08:44:03.601+01:00I was pleased to spot the mouse. the food was love...I was pleased to spot the mouse. the food was lovely and so well presented:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-26200398788759634382019-08-01T08:43:09.998+01:002019-08-01T08:43:09.998+01:00The people in the church were so enthusiastic abou...The people in the church were so enthusiastic about its history and proud of the church building too. He must have had an electronic index handy in the vestry as he was vey quick to tell me the name I was looking for wasn't there in burials or christenings. I guess they may have been methodist or baptist as both were represented with chapels in the village too. I was thrilled to spot the mouse:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-83353424530642150192019-08-01T08:39:21.176+01:002019-08-01T08:39:21.176+01:00Isn't it wonderful?

I remember trying to find places to eat in those two hours between five when cafes closed and seven when restaurants opened, there is so much choice now in food choices too. I hadn't known about the Roman fort being there until we went into the church - so much history there:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-44302386247230492382019-08-01T08:36:25.211+01:002019-08-01T08:36:25.211+01:00It was a great discovery and the church was lovely...It was a great discovery and the church was lovely I would like to go back again one day:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-82924505685248109432019-08-01T08:35:43.486+01:002019-08-01T08:35:43.486+01:00Yes, it was an interesting diversion.
