Yes...so many have become wholly π’…π’Šπ’”π’„π’π’π’π’†π’„π’•π’†π’…, but, ironically, very 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 to the meaningless.

P.S. Who is your 13x grandmother? I think I recognize that...

13x grandparents..Lady Jane (or Joan) Salusbury, wife of John Salusbury. The church is in Denbighshire, Wales.

Interesting! It reminded me of Westminster Abbey and thought it might have been one from there.

Wouldn't I just be something!! We had very close ties with the Tudors. Robert Dudley became ward of Lord John's son, Thomas Salusbury after Lord John died in the 1580's. Lord John (Grandpaw!) had a brother who translated the New Testament from English into Welsh. Lord John was knighted by the Tudors and Dudley was Baron of Denbighshire. Little Thomas was later executed for the Babbington Plot to get rid of the Queen. I, my mother, sister and daughter have always been pulled, inexplicably at the time, towards stories about the Tudor era of English history. It wasn't until my trip to Wales in 2020 that I found out why. Isn't that just a little spooky?

I love this. It's a great story! It is a little spooky, but in a good way!
