Kettlebaston - VI. It also commemorates that, in 1445, Henry VI granted the Manor of Kettlebaston to William de la Pole, (Marquis of Suffolk), in return for the service of carrying a golden sceptre at the coronation of all the future Kings of England, (and an ivory sceptre to carry at the coronation of Margaret of Anjou, and all future Queens). This amazing honour continued until Henry VIII resumed the manor, (and although it was later regranted, sadly, it was without the royal service). The parish church of St. Mary the Virgin has Norman origins, and features a splendid font from around 1200 AD. It is recorded that it was then "built anew" in 1342, remaining largely unchanged until targeted by Protestant vandals in the 1540's. Today it features one of Suffolk's finest.

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan - revenge, and shall forgive anyone who indulges in oppression and excesses against me.” Also known as the “Red Shirts”, the organization recruited over 100,000 members and became legendary in opposing (and dying) at the hands of the British controlled police and army.
