St Nicholas Priory’s volunteer team invites you warmly to support their fundraiser!
When St Nicholas Priory opened as a Museum in 1916 Miss Tothill was appointed as Curator. Expected to be little more than a custodian she transformed the Priory into a place that entertained and astounded the curious who visited. This included Authors, Musicians and even Royalty. More than that it even became the home for several Ravens! This is the story of a remarkable woman who brought St Nicholas Priory to life for its many visitors and in turn has become an integral part of its history.
Fundraising talk by Ben Clapp.
Tickets £15.00, refreshments included.
