Village history

Childerley is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Childerley Hall was built by Sir John Cutts in after clearing and depopulating the two existing villages of Great Childerley and Little Childerley.[1] There were originally two churches in Childerley, one of which was dedicated to St Mary. Both were demolished by Sir John Cutts.[2] Queen Elizabeth I is recorded[3] as having sent the Spanish Ambassador to stay with Sir John Cutts at the Hall.

gollark: The original EWO has really weird pathfinding because it tried to allow Turing-completeness somehow.
gollark: I think most of the speedrun rules ignore the time-based or just really weird achievements though.
gollark: Emu Wares Wars is actually a spinoff thing where people try and get the best deals on Emu War merchandise.
gollark: Emu Wars Extended is particularly weird.
gollark: It's *basically* the same as the original EWO though, at least up to about halfway through arc 2.
