(Author of the Story of Staffordshire Tales and Legends of the Midland Counties, etc.) It thus appears that our inquiries have created interest among Staffordshire historians, and their search reveals the fact of there being two (contemporary) Matthew Cradocks, both Members of Parliament. Our thanks are certainly due to them and to the present proprietor of Meaford (whose letters to Historian Hughes follow), who carefully copied the inscription in Caverswall church. Feb. 10th.
