FRADLEYS

Hi, everyone who is searching for info on the Fradley Family History.

We are hoping to spend a day in Stone soon.  As we haven't been there before, we would like to visit several different places eg

The Canal
Churches/graveyards
Museum or Library
Archives
Places where family members may have lived or worked.

As we will only be there for the day, on this occasion, can anyone recommend the best places to see in such a short visit?

Thanks, A & B
