Following on from this brief thread on Ella Mary Leather and Herefordshire folklore generated by a recent podcast by the wonderful @icysedgwick.bsky.social I thought I'd even things up across the county border with a post about Charlotte Burne's work in #Shropshire

As the nights get cowder
Above Hope Bowdler
You munna go alone
To the owd Gaer Stone
To avoid owd Nick
There is a trick
And to begin
Dance widdershin
Thrice round the stone
Whilst chunnerin in tone
“Who is the best?
Memories of Shropshire I guess”

I've several stories about the meaning of a 'tuppence dish' - wondering if you have a definitive one (and who was Martha Rhoden anyway)? 😱

Apparently Martha was a potter whose pots turned out a bit wonky and the Morris team have a handkerchief dance named All Asident so they took their name from the saying.

But were they as wonky as one of Martha Roden’s dishes?

The Cross Foxes, Shrewsbury. Loved it. Locals shouted ‘mind yer ‘ead’ as we walked in, the ceiling isn’t forgiving if 6ft plus. Pint of bass and scampi fries. Perfection.

My favourite pub in Shrewsbury, The Nag’s Head. They promised fine dining and they weren’t wrong.
