Cutting Edges

Hello Jim. What would we do without you ? ! Thank-you, I believe that was the name I lost.
On another note:
it looks to me like I have uncovered a previously unknown thread of Washington's history; who'd have believed it possible?
Everyone living in the North East of England is well aware of the connection with your first president due to his ancestral home here: https://fabulousnorth.com/washington-old-hall/
The earliest reference to the hall was in 973, when it stood as a wooden building; however, it was first built in stone in 1183. The president's lineage begins in 1292.
All that aside, we now have a direct link between Washington and Shotley Bridge, and it goes some way to possibly explaining his penchant for colichemardes.
My book just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I'll send you a pdf. (15mb) which will allow you to input searches; a better option, as I have not compiled an index.
Thanks again.
