Below are the Banns of Marriage that they made, which suggest that they stayed in or were working in that area at the time. I visited the Swan Inn in September 2016, had a pint and sat in the back garden looking up at the bedrooms and imagining them both staying there during the time that they got married. Then I walked through the town to St Peter's and walked where they would have together after their marriage, from the Church and down to the gates, where I stood and took a photograph. The Banns below were signed by James Cranbrook and C. Marriott.
