Lady Byron

19 of us were treated to a fascinating talk about Lady Byron from one of our members, Marjorie Stubbs.

The talk was held in the upper room at Knowle Library where Marjorie had put together the Knowle Society display about Lady Byron’s life.  Marjorie had done extensive research over many years on Lady Byron and she displayed a deep and enthusiastic knowledge of Anne Isabella’s life.  Interestingly, Marjorie lived in Seaham, Northumberland, where Lady Byron was brought up.  When Marjorie moved to Solihull, she found that there was a link to Lady Byron here as well.

Following Marjorie’s talk, the group enjoyed tea, coffee and cake whilst looking round the exhibition; Marjorie was able to answer any questions.

Many thanks to Marjorie for this excellent talk and exhibition and to Knowle Library who welcomed our group, organised the upper room and provided the hot drinks.
