WOODFORD PARISH CHURCH MEMORIAL HALL
ANNUAL LECTURE
Supported by
The lecture series originally started in 2006 as part of the restoration appeal for the Hall’s fleche (see below). In April 2006, Peter Lawrence gave a talk entitled ‘From Country House to Community Hall’ on the history of the site, and in October 2006, Derek Baker talked about William Morris and his Essex roots. Most recently, in December 2007, the Very Revd. Dr John Arnold, a former Dean of Durham Cathedral, gave a personal reminiscence of Woodford during the 1940’s and 1950’s and of Sylvia Pankhurst, for whom his mother worked as a secretary.
The Trustees have decided that the lecture series should continue on an annual basis and look forward to welcoming you at the next lecture, provisionally scheduled for Autumn 2008.
