Have been offline for a few days so I would like to take this opportunity to wish our good friends in the United States of America a fabulous celebration and holiday weekend.
Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, died on this day in 918. She was the daughter of Alfred the Great, and ruled Mercia after the death of her husband Æthelred. There is a more modern church built on a site originally founded by her in Shrewsbury.
