[edit] Abbey Clock
The clock on the abbey is (I assume) unusual in that the roman numerals on its face have the "x" replaced by an "f" character. Unfortunately, I have been unable to turn up any information related - or even references - to this.
Anybody have any ideas?
- hah! i totally didn't notice that. I don't have any idea why it's like that or so on, but here's a picture a dug up of it. Not very clear but you can just about make it out. :) Chrisbayley 16:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
IF, F, FI
Where is the exact location of Shrewsbury Abbey? A map would be nice, too.
An aside-- in the American Civil War, Confederate Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia, who, at Charleston, April 10, 1861, replying to a serenade, said:
"...And I will tell you, gentlemen, what will put her in the Southern Confederacy in less than an hour by Shrewsbury clock."
