Among many other others, we hear about two brothers who were both captured at the retreat to Dunkirk and met in a POW camp, the medic who was at the liberation of Bergen Belsen who fell in love and married a young woman who had been imprisoned there for several years, and the fireman who risked his life to free an elderly couple from the rubble of their house in Carshalton. Margaret Thomas has been involved in local history for over 30 years. Including running the schools programme for Honeywood and Whitehall.

The Mistresses of Henry VIII
Thursday 27 November 19:30 at CryerArts, Carshalton A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Henry VIII is famous as the King who married six times; his matrimonial adventures have been a source of enduring fascination for centuries. Yet relatively little is known about the King`s extra-marital adventures. He prided himself on being a virtuous prince, and when it came to sex, he was discreet, even prudish, so the evidence for his affairs is sparse. Yet it is clear that he took a number of mistresses, enjoyed fleeting sexual adventures, and was as promiscuous as most Renaissance rulers. Alison Weir has crafted a fascinating narrative from the fragmentary sources, which throws light on Henry VIII`s private life, revealing striking insights into the man and his psyche. All Seats £7 To book, please contact Susan Hoskin at susan.hoskin@gmail.com or by ‘phone on 07721 852378. Alternative print out and post our Booking Form from HERE. |
