                    Now within
                    an angel twin
                    a spirit capped
Covered

                    A fallen twin
                    though spirit kept
                    crept within
Shuttered

                    Leaves impress
                    though wither since
                    and with one hand
Carried

                    By silk, by light
                    a faith, a plight
                    as we hark and herald
Surely

The Family Crest Of Thomas Middleditch

Chiefly set in the hundred of Pimhill, Myddle Castle was built perhaps 1308, by Lord John Le Strange. The castle would ultimately collapse into ruin during the earthquake of 1688, but recognition of the Middleditch family crest would only grow. Spelling variations eventually included: Middle, Midel, Mittel, Mittle, Middler, Midlar and Thomas Middleditch.
