	Polesworth NW v LUFFS (30/3/04) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Loughborough side started brightly, but all the possession and passing football was simply soaked up by Polesworth as they bided their time waiting for the Luffs to make the inevitable mistake.
		Polesworth restricted the Luffs to speculative efforts, Gareth Rogers and Adam Nelson both had shots saved while Carl Springthorpe popped one over the bar.
		Polesworth sealed the three points and maintained their championship challenge when they added a third in the 80th minute as Rooke broke clear of the Luffs backline and calmly lobbed Springthorpe from 18yards to wrap the game up.

	CRSBI: St Editha, Polesworth, Warwickshire (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Egbert recommended his daughter, Edith, join her so as to be instructed in religion after the rule of St Benedict.
		A fact sheet published by the Polesworth Society mentions that many historical accounts state that Egbert of Wessex established the abbey in 827, and that his daughter Editha was first Abbess.
		However, it seems Egbert did not have a daughter, and he would not have been in a position to endow an Abbey until peace was restored between Wessex and Mercia in 853.

	Re: Hartshorn. Polesworth Wawickshire (Site not responding. Last check: )
		HARTSHORNS IN POLESWORTH I understand we share an interest in the Hartshorn family of Polesworth.
		I can find very few Hartshorn records pre 1746 in Polesworth except 3 children of George Hartshorn (John/Mary/William in 1729/1729/1731) and a marriage of George Hartson of Bentole Shropshire to Elizabeth Matts of Amington in 1725/6.
		It seems too much of a co-incidence to have no Hartshorns in Polesworth (or indeed for miles around if the IGI is any indicator) and then have an unrelated George and Thomas turn up so I suspect either Thomas was a son of George or otherwise related (younger brother?).

	Literary connections with Polesworth, Warwickshire
		Sir Henry Goodere (1534-1595), a patron of the poet Michael Drayton (1563-1631) and friend of Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), lived at Polesworth Hall, erected on the site of a Benedictine Abbey.
		Wider literary patronage continued with the succession, from 1595 until 1627, of a second Sir Henry Goodere and this has led to commentators referring to a "Polesworth Circle".
		Visitors to the Hall are thought to have included John Donne (1572-1631), the architect, Inigo Jones (1573-1652) and the dramatist, Ben Jonson (1572-1637) who collaborated with Inigo Jones in court masques.
