Monthly Meeting

Our speaker today is Jane Glennie

Jane is an actress and historian with 30 years experience of bringing history to life.  Many of you will remember Jane from when she last visited us in the guise of Martha Lloyd, Jane Austen's close friend.  

This time she is donning the persona of Alice Gillington (1863 - 1934) who was an author, poet and journalist.  Alice moved into a caravan and lived with local gypsy folk.  She went on to publish books about gypsies, collections of their folklore, folk songs and singing games. As the title says you will hear about her time with the Romanies in the New Forest.
