A visit to Coldridge Church in Devon: Following the events in June with Philippa Langley MBE, who was responsible for the discovery of the grave of Richard III at Leicester, and who is exploring the real fate of the ‘Princes in the Tower’, the Malvern Civic Society is arranging a visit to Coldridge Church on Exmoor, to view their stained-glass window depicting Edward V in the Evans Chantry. (Coldridge and Little Malvern have two of only three contemporary windows of Edward V extant). There is speculation that Evans was in fact Edward V, sent to Coldridge by Richard III to live in obscurity. If you would like to join the coach party on Thursday 25th September, leaving Malvern at 8 am and arriving back about 7 pm, please book your ticket through Malvern Theatres – cost £43.40.
