Victoria's given it to you.

A bloody beauty. A mixture of praise & awe.

Eg. Discussing a salmon caught on a fishing trip. 'That's a bloody beauty, mate!' (Except we don't often catch salmon!)

There's a Brimfield only abt 7kms from Richard's Castle, Herefordshire. It's in Shropshire.

In fact, parts of Richard's Castle are in Shropshire for 1841.

Not quite sure about your query - you ask for Moses' parent's names, but have Edwin and Martha, or am I just getting mixed up?
