Our next talk will be given by Vivienne Derricutt.
This talk covers all aspects of the life, loves and
hardships of women in the 17th Century. The Talk starts with birth and
all the trials and tribulations which women endured in order to bring
new life into the world, through infancy, childhood, adolescence, the
marriage market, beauty, fashion and concludes with the expectations
placed on a 17th century wife. As part of this talk there will
be examples of period dress which can be examined. Vivienne will be
dressed as a gentlewoman of the period. Vivienne is involved with the
Chester Civil War Tours and speaks on a variety of local subjects.
Usual time 7:30 at Tiverton Village Hall. All welcome.
