Please make a note in your diaries for the following events at Durning Library:

The Duchy of Cornwall and its Manor of Kennington

Monday, 27th May - 7.15pm for 7.30pm

Elisabeth Stuart, Archivist and Records Manager of the Duchy of Cornwall, will speak to us on the history of the Duchy and its Manor of Kennington, one of the manors of a huge scattered estate. Elisabeth writes: "I'll be talking about the Duchy generally so that my audience can understand where Kennington fits in, then I'll spend more time concentrating on Kennington itself. My talk will be historical, because after all I am the Archivist and the Duchy has been going for nearly 700 years!"

Here too, advance warning of another forthcoming event:

"Our Woman in Icy Mongolia"

Monday, 24th June - 6.45pm for 7.15pm

Kay Coombs, recently returned from the steppes, will share memories of her time as our Ambassador in the land of Genghis Khan! (A little glimpse into a diplomat's life.)
