St Chads in Stafford not entirely un-related as there is/was an original inscription in the church stating that "Orm (of Biddulph) caused me to be established"; Source: "W. Beresford's Memorials of Old Staffordshire published 1909." Thanks for the tour as my ancestors were Baileys living on Biddulph Moor.

The tops of stone coffins show not crosses but keys. The cross within the circle is Templar.

I don't know if you are still doing videos of the Curiosities of Staffordshire, but I do appreciate the videos I've come across so far. In regard to the Saracens in the Midlands, you might be interested in KZbin video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g56cdGewn7eqZpo, [BBC - HISTORY COLD CASE] Ipswich Man, provided by ambrecielle and Published on Sep 24, 2011. The forensic work on a medieval skeleton proved he was of african or sub-saharan origin and there was mention of when 6 Saracens were brought to the Midlands by particlar knights, so it is thought he was one of those Saracens. I have many ancestors who came from England, so I love seeing the type of videos you are doing.
