The Thankful Villages: A Talk By Claire Lyons

About

Tuesday 16th October 2018 - Talk will begin at 7pm

The ‘Thankful Villages’ also referred to as the ‘Blessed Villages’. Claire Lyons gives a fascinating insight into those rare communities where everyone who went away to fight in WW1 returned alive. 

What should have been a cause for celebration was actually for some a source of shame and embarrassment. As a blanket of grief shrouded over thousands of communities, the thankful villages experienced a different emotion – shame, surrounded by villages where loved ones were not returning. 

With the passage of time and the consequent change in attitudes, these thankful villages no longer feel that same shame!
