Jonathan Dutton brought thirty teapots to the History Society meeting and he started by laying them out in chronological order. His talk was called ‘A Cup of Tea’, and it included history, geography, politics and etiquette which all shed light on our tea-drinking habits. Jonathan’s style of presentation made this an engrossing and amusing evening. With a background in auctioneering and salerooms, he is well qualified to identify all sorts of porcelain and delighted his audience with well-chosen anecdotes along the way.

The next meeting is on Tuesday 15th November at 7.30 in the WI Hall when Leigh Alston will show slides and talk on ‘Shops in the Middle Ages’.

Please return Christmas menus and deposits to Gillian by this date.
