Gillian is currently giving the following talks:
⦁ Coleshill - Nerve Centre of British Resistance
This talk tells the fascinating story of the secret resistance during the Second World War. Who knew that this quiet village of tranquil beauty in deepest Oxfordshire housed the HQ of the highly trained, top secret British Resistance. From 13-year old school children and the village postmistress to saboteurs bristling with explosives, this talk is full of surprises.
⦁ A Tour of the Bodleian Library, Oxford University
This talk will give you a real feel of the history of the Bodleian Library since it originally opened for business in 1488. The talk is full of interesting anecdotes and fascinating details.
⦁ The Miracle of Bletchley Park
It is just not possible to recount all of the wonderful things about Bletchley Park in one talk, so Gillian concentrates on some of the brilliant and truly eccentric characters who peopled the park during the Second World War, and talks about why it was such a miracle to her.
⦁ The Mitford Sisters
These six sisters were, by anybody’s standards, outrageous. They shocked and appalled in equal measure. They are, however, enduringly fascinating.
⦁ It’s A Girl’s Life in the Army
This talk recounts how Gillian herself went from London Girl About Town to become the first woman to serve in one of the top infantry regiments in the British Army. As the only woman serving with the regiment at the time there were many hilarious consequences.
