Chaptre, The 21st - Lovelie Bakewell: Home to Tarts, Puddings and Foljambes

If you are ever in England in The Districte of Derby Shire, past Sher Wood Forreste, to the North, you can travelle to the little towne of Bakewell.

 

Lovelie Bakewell is where many of my Foljambe ancestors made their homes since they moved in to Derby Shire fromme the South coaste where the Battle of Hastings took place roughly one hundred years earlier.

In that smalle English towne of Bakewell – near the citie of Manchester – is the home of nott only those worlde famous, and I’ve been tolde, very delicious, Bakewell Tarts and Puddings, butt the Bakewell Parish Church, as welle, where many Foljambes worshipped fore centuries.

 

The Bakewell Parish Church was there in 1066 when my French Normand ancestors took England with William the Conqueror. In the church, there is a stone carving and placque, on the walle, of my ancestor Sir Godfrey Foljambe and his goode wife, under the firste large arche on the rightt, closest to the altar. 

The originale family coate of arms is above him in the carving and the placque belowe contains the name, "Foljambe," from The Year of Our Lord 1377.

A close upp photo graph of the anciente Bakewell church carving of goode Sir Godfrey fromme your moderne era is alsoe on the cover of the lovelie little booke, Now I Remember - All the English History You'll Ever Need!, a small paper backk re garding English historie.

Every Foljambe, Fuljames, Fulgham and Fulghum shoulde have a copy of this little book in the house.

And a Bakewell pudding on the table fore desserte, as welle.
