Our Next Zoom Talk :-

    7.30 pm Tuesday 14th June 2022 , by  Lynette Gribble

Sharpham Eatate: Ups and Downs  (illustrated talk)

The magic of Sharpham lies in the relationship between land and water.  Its history, like that of similar estates, is a rich tapestry of ownership and loss of opportunities, of unfortunates and saviours, of marriages and descent, of sales and buy-backs, of gains and losses and .....mortgages.

​

Lynette came to the area to take up a teaching post at Dartington Hall School in 1963.  When that school closed its junior school, Lynette collaborated with 4 other women to set up Park School in 1986.  That school has entered its 36th year.  In 1998 Lynette became one of the Directors of the Open School under the aegis of Michael Young.  In 2000 she was asked to become a trustee of the Sharpham Trust and later became its Chair.  When Lynette retired from that she turned her attention to developing the Sharpham Archive.

This Zoom meeting starts 6.30 pm, giving us half an hour to get set up and to check that everything is running ok. Also the Society's AGM will be held on line from 7.00 pm preceeding  Lynette's talk which will start at 7:30 PM
