John Smith's

A place to place all sorts.


Minster Lovell & Little Minster.

‘The Cat, the Rat, and Lovell the dog, ruled England under a hog’.

A reference to three powerful men who ruled England under Richard 111.

William Catesby, Sir Richard Ratcliffe, and Francis, Viscount Lovell. The ‘hog’ was reference to Richard’s emblem, the white boar.

The ruins sit alongside the beautiful River Windrush.

Little Minster is a tiny beautiful village with a nice pub, ‘The Old Swan’ and a very exclusive hotel, ‘Minster Mill’.

About Me

First and foremost a father to a daughter and a son, both, who I love more than dare say. Next a searcher, a gamer, a would-be novelist, a supporter, who loves socialising, the outdoors, and those moments when eternity touches the soul.
