There is also a tree near to where we lived in Worcs, that locals claimed he hid in.<br />It was probably good for tourism through the years to promote the story.<br />Locally there is an old pub called The Black Boy, which I've been told was his nickname, since he was so swarthy. Whether it has a connection to his escape I don't know.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-67572929410399226122009-06-01T04:11:31.162+01:002009-06-01T04:11:31.162+01:00Wow, is that ever a gorgeous tree in that second p...Wow, is that ever a gorgeous tree in that second photo.
