Vivienne Derricott No Rest for the Wicked 26 February

Unfortunately we were away for this talk but Di Carr writes 
"Dressed in costume of  a 17th century lady Vivienne Derricott spoke about the lot of women in 17th century England, describing the pattern of life from the dangers of birth, through childhood, to betrothal and marriage. A picture of the typical life and duties of  a wife and mother was portrayed and left us in no doubt that as today a woman's work is never done!"
