Family Search Ancestral Files, submission # AF96-105836. Notes from Bonnie Fincher Rodgers on picture of St. Mary Magdalene Church: From an original watercolour by Harry Pearman of Earls Common. Published and produced by RJL Smith and Associates Much Wenlock Shropshire. I, Bonnie Fincher Rodgers, was thrilled when I received this Christmas card from Eileen and Frank Fincher. I had corresponded with her before and she has sent documents and information on our family from there. Most of the Finchers from 1500 and 1600, until the mid 1700s are buried in this Church and Church Yard. Some were buried at St. Peters Church in Worcester. St. Peters no longer stands, but is now a parking lot. Our Francis the Elder was buried there. They are currently raising money to repair some of the timbers on the roof. I sat in this small, but beautiful, church and tried to imagine just what it like back when our Francis gave up his church and became a Quaker. In 1540, this church was known as "Lady Chapel". Shell Manor was purchased by the Fincher Family in 1549. The Fincher name was carried in Shell Manor until 1755, when Phillip Fincher died. It then passed to the female co-heir, Mary Hornblower. You will find all the details in "The Victoria History of the Counties of England WORCESTERSHIRE, published for the University of London Institute of Hisorical Research by Dawsons of Pall Mall. This book can be found in most Genealogial Research Libraries. The person in the photo is Bonnie Fincher Rodgers, who is the 10th generation of Fransis Fincher, the immigrant. Shell Monor, Shell Cottage, the Silver Chalice, St. Mary Magdalene Church are pictures shared by Bonnie and her husband, Buel, taken on their fall 1998 vacation to England. The picture of the Silver Chalice denotes a silver cup donated to the church by John Fincher, of Shell Manor in Himbleton, 1656. It was augmented (more metal added) and it was inscribed in 1688. This cup was for communion services.
