Newspaper article on Edith Jeacock

This article by the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald, is dated Thurs Feb 22, 1979. It features Edith Jeacock, an ex school headmistress who became the Secretary of the Shrivenham Historical Society. It mentions some of the research that she was involved with at the time of writing. We also have a letter written by Edith Jeacock in 1978 to Shrivenham Parish Council concerning her historical researches.

After the death of her husband, Edith left Shrivenham and moved back up to the Liverpool area where she originally came from and passed away sometime after.
