Val Scully ‘The Wonderful Women of Gibside’
Annfield Plain Local History Club Annfield Plain Library Monday 9th March 10.15 – 11.30am

Join local author and historian Val Scully, as she tells the rich and varied stories of six Bowes women whose lives span 300 years of County Durham history.

Strong women have been hugely significant in the history of Gibside. From Lady Elizabeth Bowes, the pickaxe‑wielding firebrand who fought to build the family’s fortunes, to the 20th‑century Elizabeth who refused the proposal of an heir to the throne and went on to save the estate for the nation.

Val will have copies of her books available for purchase and signing (cash only). Arrive from 10am for complimentary refreshments. 10.15am start.

Annfield Plain History Club meets on the second Monday of the month 10 – 11.30am. All welcome.
