A couple of your committee members have been spending some time recently trying to find a portrait  of our founder Anne Dacre (which was bound to be out there somewhere!) by scrutinising the walls of various country houses and other efforts and are delighted that our story has been printed in the most recent edition of The Rose & Portcullis…Number 8, just issued.

At the foot of the main CONNECTION page on this website you will find a link to this new edition and to all past copies of the R & P…what service we do give to you lucky members!!

if you’ve not yet seen it. Please place that finger on the appropriate button.

The new edition, issued last week includes information on
