This not only makes it a Congregation Space to Rival that of Churches ~ and Clerics Frequently Complain about People Spending more Time on a Bench in a Tavern than on their Knees Praying in a Chapel ~ it is also a Political Centre, One that can be used to Criticise the Crown and Engage in Sedition. 1428 In the Kingdom of France, King Philip V of France Outlaws Duke Charles of Bar, Effectively Annexing the Duchy, and Invades Lorraine. The Holy Roman Empire is neither United enough nor Peaceful enough to Drive the French out Completely. In the Kingdom of England, by this Date, Hops are being Planted, and Grown, in England.

Extra History

We were looking at our cow cam [yes, we put CCTV in the cow shed!] on Sunday and someone noticed something that hadn't been there last week...when we went to find out what it was, it turned out we had gone from two cows to four ~ two bull calves, born between Sunday and Mooooonday night respectively.
