This is real History, not rumour!

Old Churches and the visiting of them were major interests of Charlie when he was out and about.  And for sure this Church he visited today had much history to write about with many dates to remember.  But Charlie failed to spot any interesting gravestones.

Warburton Old Church is near the Warburton High Level Bridge he is forever crossing on his travels.  The Church is named St Werburgh’s, named after a 7th Century Nun, who was the Anglo Saxon daughter of Wulfhere, the first Christian King of Mercia.  Werburgh died around AD 700, then Abbess of Ely.

I am indebted to Wikipedia for this information, which Charlie would no doubt have liked to access.  Progress.
