A mysterious portrait picture discovered lying near a skip in a Church Stretton street, a notable local family, and a popular radio show from yesteryear...
The picture found by Bill Kerswell in the street in Church Stretton.Browsing on the internet, Elly came across a Star story from 2020 which told how reader Bill Kerswell chanced across a portrait photo of a young woman, which was lying on the pavement in the Shropshire town.
"My lovely aunt died this year on January 17 and has a small graveyard plaque in Church Stretton along with her brother, who died just a fortnight or so earlier on December 25, 2022. "They definitely lived in Church Stretton at one point, but also my father John Horne spent some of his childhood in Aberdeen and also Liverpool."With Elly's family photos almost all being in store in suitcases she has been unable to compare the photo Bill came across with that of family members from yesteryear to check for a family likeness, but does have a theory.
Silvester Horne was the Congregational minister of a chapel in London and also Liberal MP for Ipswich. He had to leave the church post in 1913 for health reasons and moved to The White House – now demolished – in Church Stretton.
