seen this in the flesh so to speak
Plunkett was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn on 1 July 1681 (11 July NS), aged 55, the last Catholic martyr to die in England.[13] His body was initially buried in two tin boxes, next to five Jesuits who had died previously, in the courtyard of St Giles in the Fields church. The remains were exhumed in 1683 and moved to the Benedictine monastery at Lamspringe, near Hildesheim in Germany. The head was brought to Rome, and from there to Armagh, and eventually to Drogheda where since 29 June 1921 it has rested in Saint Peter's Church. Most of the body was brought to Downside Abbey, England, where the major part is located today, with some parts remaining at Lamspringe. Some relics were brought to Ireland in May 1975, while others are in England, France, Germany, the United States, and Australia.

Between these two, but rather closer to Wherever’s guess.
It’s 20 including the two thorns from England, only one of which can be from the true crown (
), so 19 will do Beth.Perhaps we should have a religious, mystical and other made up crap artefacts thread, it really is fascinating in a what the **** people actually believe this kind of way.
Happy Easter.
My favourite relic is the dried blood of San Gennaro, patron saint of Napoli, which liquifies on demand. This used to be once a year, but once the Catholic Church recognised the branding and marketing opportunities this has edged up to three times a year and whenever a Pope or other important dude (its always men of course) turns up to have a butchers at it. Outstanding.

How is this Pub, near Chesterfield, linked to a longstanding football record that is unlikely (imho) ever to be beaten

A clue... It's to do with a plaque on the wall dedicated to the man born next door...
