Now that is an interesting link! I know what I’ll be reading this week!
I did wonder if there might have been a link with a family called Pye, so I had a look at the reminiscences of Twiss/Wragg/Leader.
There was a very brief mention of Pye Bank, and of a Dr. Pye Smith, but they didn’t make any connection between the two. They only said that the Doctor had been born on Snig Hill.
