Shrawardine is a tiny hamlet a couple of miles west of Shrewsbury, but in former times it was quite an important little place, with an imposing castle. Local people tell me about Colonel Vaughan and his daring escape, the baby who fell out of the castle window - or was he pushed? - and the modern rood, which is quite a rareity.
