Time to map out a plan for Villa's future

Royal connection to historic garden
Monday 25th August 2008, 11:30AM BST.
The stables and outbuildings now house the tearoom and shop for visitors, but it is easy to imagine what it was like then.
The honeysuckle growing over one of the gates is just how it could have been.
There is a happy ending to the story, as Oliver Cromwell restored the king in 1660, and he accepted that he would always bow to parliament, as our sovereigns do to this day.
All the people who helped the king were pardoned, and rewarded with money or land, so there was great rejoicing in the land.

Its not new news that Moseley has royal connections im 46 and i knew that story as a child.
What is new is the fact that local people dont bother to tell their children stories that have passed down generations.
When i told this story to a little girl of a friend she asked “do we have a king?”
No history lessons is school then today!
