And in John's words this is: -
A short film to commemorate this weekend's anniversary; stories of not just celebration but also loss and reconciliation. Wonderful memories from Joe, Graham, Jack, Ruth, Joan & George. Part of the much bigger 'Remembering Kirkby Lonsdale' project I'm trying to get funding to extend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have a new 2020/2021 Winter series of illustrated talks which will begin on September 14th 2020.
We will be inviting you to take a Quaker journey, find Lost Inns and Alehouses of the Yorkshire Dales, travel the Corpse roads of Cumbria and look inside four tins!!
We look forward to welcoming you all then.
More details to follow.
