Got a bit further.

Ash is a tree; shallow water is a ford. The motto of Ashford Borough Council is "With Stronger Faith".

Could Jack Cade be the rebellions son?

not sure on this bit.

can't believe I missed that place Marg2k8 and i was looking at that as the rebellion yesterday evening i just couldn't find out where he was from. so thanks

reniannen

Yay! :T

That's where I've got too. The only bit I'm uncertain about is where the wraith fits in. I can't see it leading us to another place though. At first I thought it might be a specific village or house Jack Cade is supposed to be from but the place of his birth is uncertain, even Ashford is speculative.

Marg2k8

Yes - why use a strange word like wraith? Also, the phrase Rebellion's son is a bit of an odd thing to say. As reniannen says, perhaps we should be looking for something more specific than a town.

If it is the wraith part that shows us where the treasure is could it be

(Pluckley 5 miles west if ashford 'most haunted village in Britain')

reniannen

it looks like a possibility but I can't tie it in to the rest of the clue, it just doesn't quite fit imho. The final line is a rebellion's son who hailed from this place and I can't find any references to Cade or another person connected with a rebellion being from Pluckley or haunting Pluckley? Still might be worth putting it in one day though since it's one entry per day

Hi all, sorry to gate crash. I can't do these for love nor money but don't know if this will help at all. (hopefully, white on white, so highlight to view)

Spoiler

From Wiki : "But a week after the peasant forces disbanded, Cade learned that the government regarded him as a traitor and had issued a reward for him dead or alive. He was subsequently killed in a skirmish near Heathfield, East Sussex on 12 July 1450, after which his body was taken to London and quartered for display in different cities, his preserved head ending up on a pike on London Bridge (along with those of other leaders of the rebellion). There is a memorial almost opposite the public house formerly known as the Jack Cade but subsequently renamed the Half Moon."

There seem to be a few sites that reckon that Jack Cade was born in Ireland, but I don't think that we are expected to leave the vicinity.
