Welcomes you to Staffordshire,
England |
|
These photographs are from my very dear and
loving friend, Pam. A more
gracious and beautiful person you will never
find. Pam and I met each other
on an internet mailing group many years ago
due to our common love of genealogy.
This summer (2004) Pam made the journey
across the pond from her home in England to
our home here in the US. We spent the
most delightful and memorable three weeks
together, a time that I will always hold
close to my heart. My boys miss their,
'Grandma Pam,' and are looking forward to
her return! |

~Church of Stoke on Trent~,
at the top.
There was a church at
Stoke
by 1086, and for the next seven
centuries and more this remained
the mother church of a large
parish. That parish included
Newcastle, Clayton and Seabridge
on the west, the detatched
Whitmore, further west still.
Burslem, Hanley, Norton in the
Moors, Bucknall and Bagnall in
the north, and Lane End and
Fenton in the east.
At the time of its demolition in
1830 the former church of St.
Peter Ad Vinicula consisted of
an aisled nave, a chancel of
three bays, a west tower, a
south porch and a north vestry.
The new church, on a site to the
north of the old one, was begun
in 1826 and consecrated in 1830.
