A Biddenden Cake with an image of Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst (Dominic Winter Auctioneers)
An 18th century biscuit made to commemorate the philanthropy of a pair of conjoined twins has been sold for £100 at auction.
Biddenden Cakes were a rectangle hard biscuit moulded with an image of Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst – known as the Biddenden Maids.
The twins were born in the village of Biddenden in Kent in 1100 and lived until the age of 34.
Tradition has it that when one of the twins died the other refused to be separated from her dead twin saying, As we came together we will go together, and died six hours later.
