Meetings
As it is not feasible to hold in-person meetings, all meetings are via Zoom for the foreseeable future.
We met in March when Stephen Hoadley told us the story of the early years of RMS Queen Mary: From Launch to Maiden Voyage including how she made her home in Southampton. The meeting report will be available soon.
Our talk on 27 April takes us to the lives of our seventeenth ancestors in Janet Few’s talk Coffers, Clysters, Comfrey and Coifs where we will hear the answers to the following questions: Why do you need a bum roll? What colour were carrots in the C17th? What did the Cavaliers use for deodorant? Can you think of 47 uses for urine?
