Daily life with Georgians – a free talk by historian Peter Ross

In a happy combination of anniversaries of great Georgians, St Martin’s Church in Epsom is celebrating both the 250^th of Jane Austen’s birth and the 200^th of its own glorious Georgian nave.  As well as a stage adaption of ‘Pride & Prejudice’ another of the events in a celebratory weekend is a free talk by historian Peter Ross exploring the domestic lives of the Georgians. ‘Dining with James & Jane: Eating at home with the Georgians’ is the title of his talk which unites Jane Austen with Norfolk clergyman James Woodforde to illustrate the often little-known daily lives of those who bridged the 18^th and 19^th centuries.  The talk is followed by tea and cake. Choral Evensong is at 5 o’clock
