THE FRIENDS OF ST MABYN CHURCH

Very many thanks to Richard Jenkin of St Mabyn, who spoke to an extremely attentive audience at our meal in St Mabyn Village Hall on 27th November. His inspirational account of the time he spent teaching deprived youngsters in the township of Port Elizabeth was very well received and much appreciated.
Our next meal with wine, followed by a speaker, will take place in St Mabyn Village Hall on Friday 22nd January, 12 noon for 12.30, when Lady Mary Holborow has very kindly agreed to speak on the history of the Lord Lieutenancy, a title that dates back to the Tudors. Lady Holborow has held office as Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall since 1994, a title that is given to a Monarch's personal representative in a particular area.
