That prolific and entertaining team of Simpson and Topping invite you to the launch of their new book which offers up a journey of 400 years of Chorlton’s past.
Along the way there will be stories of the last woman to do penance in St Clements Church, the great burial scandal, and the Chorlton man who campaigned against the Slave Trade and was persecuted for his views on the French Revolution.
One of which will be from local author Stephen Smythe who will be reading some of his short fiction.
This Easter Monday at 1 pm in the Lloyd’s Hotel Wilbraham Road.
And for those who want the series stuff, this is the twelfth book the team have published and the fourth in that very popular series “nothing to do in chorlton”.
All of which are available from the authors at www.pubbooks.co.uk as well as Chorlton Book shop.
So come and join us for an afternoon celebrating old Chorlton in the company of friends, and heaps of discerning students of art and those hidden history stories.
And as an added bonus there will be an appearance from Eric Braithwaite who claims direct descendancy from the last marl hewer of Martledge.
This Easter Monday at 1 pm in the Lloyd’s Hotel Wilbraham Road.
