20843 In 1900 , antiquarian George Clinch investigated the Biddenden Maids in detail .

20845 In almost all drawings and Biddenden cake designs , the twins are shown as conjoined at both the hip and the shoulder . Although such a fusion is theoretically possible , in that twins fused at one point may form a secondary fusion elsewhere , no case of a viable double fusion has ever been documented . |

This points against their having lived in the 16th cen... |
