those far flung days, do come and join us for the talk.<br />
Another very popular speaker is booked for Thursday, 18 th March at<br />
7.30.pm in Milton Village Hall, Tim Porter will be describing the role of<br />
Medieval Hospitals. Tim’s talks are usually accompanied by really beautiful<br />
slides.<br />

maid daughters, will be back to describe The Adventurous Lives of Five<br />
