Crumbs of History
The story of the stolen Medieval tiles found in a biscuit tin after 60 Years. Taken in 1967 and forgotten in a humble biscuit tin, 68-year-old Simon White, remembers visiting heritage sites throughout Shropshire as a young boy. On one particular visit, he recalls being encouraged to help his father remove some historic tiles as a keepsake. Feeling uneasy about this ever since, he was delighted to rediscover the tiles intact while sorting through his belongings and set to work to find out where they might have come from.
English Heritage's Matty Cambridge told Clare Ashford the incredible story.
