SUMMARY:The Life of Fanny Trollope
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Williams\, who is a trustee of the Elizabeth Gaskell House in Manchester\, will be talking about the exciting life of Fanny (Frances) Trollope. \nFanny was well known for writing several strong novels of social protest:  The first of these was ‘Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw’ (1836) which was the first anti-slavery novel.  This book influenced the American Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ of 1852. \nThen in 1840 Fanny published ‘Michael Armstrong: Factory Boy’ which was known as the first industrial novel to be published in Britain.  This book was inspired by Frances’ visit to Manchester in 1832\, where she examined the conditions of children employed in the textile mills. \nFanny was also the mother of the well-known 19th century author Anthony Trollope.

SUMMARY:Vale Royal - a failed enterprise
DESCRIPTION:It is April and this month we have Tony Bostock\, a well known local and family historian\, talking\, via Zoom\, about Vale Royal.  This might be of particular interest as Mrs Pretty who funded the discovery of Sutton Hoo\, and was a major character of the recent film The Dig\, lived at Vale Royal as a young woman.  I do hope that you can join us.
