Royal Town

The official name of Sutton Coldfield is now "The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield" (and has been for a few years now). Not sure the best place to modify that.

Re Charles II's escape

It is claimed that during his escape from England in 1646, Charles II stayed for a night at New Hall Manor.

The footnote text in the linked citation, from A History of New Hall, published by Hanpicked Hotels, states:

quote=...it is said that Charles II stayed one night at New Hall during his flight from England...

However the quote does not give a confirming date and the linked page does not mention Charles II. I am also doubtful about the escape from England of Charles II it refers to unless the year is a type. Is it his great escape via the Boscobel oak tree, which actually took place in 1651.Cloptonson (talk) 14:02, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
