‘Fishermen, Quakers, Bathers and Beach Folk’ – Helen Murray
October 1 @ 2:30 PM
‘Fishermen, Quakers, Bathers & Beach Folk’ is a talk by Norwich historian and author, Helen Murray. Learn about the artist, Juliet Seebohm and those she captured in her sketchbook of Cromer, 1883-1884 including the bathing machine proprietor, Lucy Miller, Russian professor, Vinogradoff and clubfooted fisherman, ‘Old Billy.’
The Wells History Local Group welcome back Helen for her second talk, which compliments last season’s popular ‘Newhaven Court: Love, Tragedy, Heroism & Intrigue.’
Helen is a history graduate with over two decades of experience working for the Norfolk Museums Service. Helen researched and wrote Newhaven Court during the COVID lockdowns of 2020-21 and the project combined her lifelong passions for writing, local history and family history. Her research has resulted in the publication of two books, signed copies of which will be available for purchase on the day.
Non-members are welcome – tickets are £5.00 and are available from the Maltings Box Office.
