A sociable\u00a0family<\/h3>\n

Mary Hardy enlivens the history of the area through her detailed coverage of events in which she and her family participated. To celebrate the recovery of King George III from his severe attack of lunacy in 1788\u201389, during which his eldest son nearly became Regent, the diarist and the rector’s wife Elizabeth Burrell organised and cooked a meal for Letheringsett’s poor.<\/p>\n

In the extract from her diary, pictured, she describes all the ingredients she used in cooking the meal of roast beef and plum pudding for 150 men, women and children. The miller at Letheringsett Watermill provided the bread.<\/p>\n

In the evening our house and shrubbery were illuminated . . . and the evening concluded with firing of guns\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>(Mary Hardy, 1789)<\/h5>\n

In the talk Margaret Bird will not only describe Mary Hardy’s life, but show how her activities, and those of her family, related to events in the wider world.<\/p>\n
