great grandmother

Monday 26th September 2011
hope someone can help, my great grandmother Editha Maud Miriam Rowlands nee(Ewins) lived for a time in Smithy Cottage
Snead
Churchstoke
and when there, their grandchildren would turn up having run away from there drab homes in Hulme and Moss Side Manchester because it was so nice in Churchstoke. I wonder if anyone would know if the cottage still stands and where abouts i would be able to find it.I have a picture of my great grandmother sat outside the cottage but it only shows the side wall, i believe they lived there in the1930s
with kind regards David Maycock

while pondering a map of the UK i noticed the odd-shaped border between Wales and England centering apparently on Church Stoke. it almost appears to be a taoist symbol of the yin-yang, or a Taijitu. could someone tell me something about why the border is shaped as it is?
yours, in curiousity

Welsh National Anthem
Posted By: Eddie Evans from Churchstoke
Saturday 21st November 2009
I was disappointed and dismayed with the version of the Welsh National Anthem contained within the "Order of Service" for the Remembrance Day Service at Churchstoke Church on Sunday 8th November. It was disrespectful to the Welsh culture and heritage and insulting to those within our community who are proud to be Welsh and proud of our nation.
