Notes from Bonnie Fincher Rodgers on picture of St. Mary Magdalene Churc h: From an original watercolour by Harry Pearman of Earls Common. Published a nd produced by RJL Smith and Associates Much Wenlock Shropshire. I, Bonnie Fi ncher Rodgers, was thrilled when I received this Christmas card from Eileen an d Frank Fincher. I had corresponded with her before and she has sent document s and information on our family from there. Most of the Finchers from 1500 an d 1600, until the mid 1700s are buried in this Church and Church Yard. Some w ere 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 curr ently 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 15 49. The Fincher name was carried in Shell Manor until 1755, when Phillip Finc her died. It then passed to the female co-heir, Mary Hornblower. You will fi nd all the details in "The Victoria History of the Counties of England WORCES TERSHIRE, published for the University of London Institute of Hisorical Resear ch by Dawsons of Pall Mall. This book can be found in most Genealogial Resear ch Libraries. The person in the photo is Bonnie Fincher Rodgers, who is the 1 0th generation of Fransis Fincher, the immigrant. Shell Monor, Shell Cottage, the Silver Chalice, St. Mary Magdalene Church are pictures shared by Bonnie an d her husband, Buel, taken on their fall 1998 vacation to England. The pictur e of the Silver Chalice denotes a silver cup donated to the church by John Fin cher, of Shell Manor in Himbleton, 1656. It was augmented (more metal added) and it was inscribed in 1688. This cup was for communion services.
