St Peter's Church, Radway

I don't know about you, but I love wandering around graveyards, where you can always find history written in stone ;-)  

Enjoy a slice of quintessential England with a quick visit to the village church of Radway in Warwickshire, site of the first battle of the English Civil War, where we explore a couple of notable graves.

I know West Berlin very well, I was stationed there in the late 70s but also more recently did school tours there. Norfolk is a lovely county, we have a friend in Sherringham 👍

I live in Berlin now but I walked around my local church Snettisham, Norfolk, not so long ago and had seen some beautiful graves

Ah, thank you so much David, I really appreciate it

You always manage to throw in the most interesting history tidbits, even on your travels and holidays. That's why I couldn't resist being a patron. It just did not seem right to enjoy your History Squad, and not give it support.

🤣 nice

They wouldn’t actually let him have "I told you I was ill" despite it appearing in one of his books. So, his children got it put on in Gaelic. I’m being cremated or I’d have 'póg mo thóin', a favourite expression of my late father, on mine. I have decided I want my ashes spread on Ewood Park and my (PNE supporter) wife should visit me at 3.00pm every Saturday wearing my 1960 Rovers shirt.

That's really a cool little church.

LOL, I love Spike Milligan's headstone, it reads "I told them I was ill".

I think I'd like a bawdy limerick on my headstone.

Max

lovely :-) hope you're enjoying your time back home

Thanks Kevin. I know exactly what you mean! It's fascinating what you can come across in graveyards. I'm not a religious man, but I love to visit old churches because there is just so much history in those old stones.
