One funny thing he did was to throw some horrible stuff on his forge fire. It made the most terrible stink that everyone had to leave. This was when Rupert wanted to be by himself. Anyway, I never thought he lived in Beech St. Maybe it was his popularity after the civil war, that led to this idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162974697248403779.post-12355440086145791642023-01-22T20:32:43.970+00:002023-01-22T20:32:43.970+00:00In center of cathedral we have seen musket ball in...In center of cathedral we have seen musket ball inpacts on cathedral walls ,inside center ,when attending midnight mass 2022, the evidence is there approx 4ft up from floor Mickyparahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992572904153509740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162974697248403779.post-44982176120148932352023-01-22T20:28:29.480+00:002023-01-22T20:28:29.480+00:00We ,3 of us attended midnight mass 2022 ,I am in w...We ,3 of us attended midnight mass 2022 ,I am in wheelchair ,where we where seated in center of cathedral ,we could easily see musket ball inpacts on walls inside approx 4/5ft from groundMickyparahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992572904153509740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162974697248403779.post-91066291560520214862022-10-30T18:33:09.517+00:002022-10-30T18:33:09.517+00:00Hi - many thanks for stopping by.

For 350 years now, it has always been assumed he meant Thomas Pride."
