St Mary's, Drayton Beauchamp, Bucks
In the chancel will be found two fine brasses of 1368 and 1374 engraved by Waller and remarkable for richness of detail. The more elaborate is a portrait of Thomas Cheyne, shieldbearer to Edward III and grantee of the Manor, and the other is of his brother, William. A smaller brass, though damaged, clearly shows the beautiful vestments worn by a priest of this church, Sir Henry Fazakerley who died in 1531.

The Printing Works
The following account of the origin of the famous firm of Messrs McCorquodale & Co. appeared in a newspaper published in 1846: 

"The capacious building at Newton, on the north side of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, known until recently as the Legh Arms Hotel is being converted into a general printing office. A printing office in a village like Newton however humble in pretension, a year ago would have been considered one of the greatest wonders of the age. Wonders do, however, occasionally appear, and one of the greatest we know of is the conversion, in such a place, of a building larger than the establishments of the metropolitan morning papers, or of the printers to Her Majesty, into a place for pressmen and printer's devils. The Company, among other amalgamations and consolidations, have contracted with a practical person to undertake this department exclusively; and the house in question has been selected as the best adapted for the purpose, all things considered, upon any portion of their lengthened territory."
 

George McCorquodale, Esq. the head of the firm, was, we are told, originally of Liverpool, where his early aptitude for business was well known. He joined William Blacklock, Esq., in partnership in the context for the railway company's printing and stationery work, and soon the firm became known all over the kingdom.
Robert Hindley as a later foreman, and James Fazakerley as "clicker" of the Penny Guide in succession to Hugh Paton, have both "moved to the pale realms of shade." We worked amicably in the same "frame" with the former, and on the same "forme" with the latter, in the olden days.
