I just noticed I have Ipsley, Warwickshire - would that be a typo somewhere along the way, - that it should have been Worcestershire? Or is Ipsley actually in Warwickshire? I am not familiar with the area, being in Australia!

Jood when I Googled it said that the C of E Church of Ipsley is called St. Peters. It is in Worcestershire and the main town close by is Redditch.

Wonder where I got Warwickshire from - is that anywhere near Worc then?

(thanks Julie)

I read it as they are side by side. Shakespeare lived in Warwickshire - Stratford-upon-Avon... Daphne in Worcester at Malvern .... two very important people!!
