Surrogacy is a topic that has recently been in the press after Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker announced that she and husband Matthew Broderick were going to be expecting twin daughters, born through a surrogate. The SJP said that she and her husband had been trying to grow their family for several years through many different methods but had been unsuccessful. They then decided to use a surrogate as a means of ensuring that they were able to expand their family. This topic has been in the news again today after the lady of 24 years old came forward as already having given birth to 2 surrogate babies and is going to be looking at doing it for a third time. This is clearly not something that families choose to do lightly, but for many, as in Sarah Jessica Parker’s case, it is the only choice if they want to grow their family.

There was an article last month in the national press about a family who discovered an ancient church below their house in Telford. The family had noticed a wooden grill on the floor of their house and decided that they needed to investigate it further. They sent their son down the into the cellar and he discovered that they was an old wooden cross on the floor which first alerted the family to the fact that they were currently living on top of an old church. Down in the cellar the family discovered old wine bottles and old newspapers dating back to the early 1900’s. A local historian thinks that the church could date back to the 1700’s where it could have been used as a hiding place for Catholics.
