Members of South Hill Women’s Institute gathered at Golberdon Village Hall for an insightful and entertaining evening with historian and author Rosemary Griggs, who was accompanied by her husband David.

Rosemary, well known for her engaging presentations and historical novels set in Devon during the Tudor period, gave a fascinating illustrated talk entitled “Bessie’s Story – A Servant Woman’s Life.” Appearing in character as Bessie, a servant in a wealthy Tudor household, Rosemary immediately captured the audience’s attention. Dressed in authentic Tudor costume and speaking as Bessie herself, she offered a glimpse into the world of domestic service in the sixteenth century — a world of hard work, loyalty, and quiet resilience.

To help bring Bessie’s story to life, Rosemary brought along a selection of carefully crafted props, including a blackwork bonnet, household items, and replicas of the sort of possessions a servant might have treasured. Through these visual touches, along with her expressive storytelling and humour, she transported her audience back in time, vividly describing the duties, challenges, and small pleasures that shaped a servant woman’s daily life.

Her talk combined meticulous historical research with a warm, personal style that made the past feel both real and relevant. Members were fascinated by the details of Tudor dress, food, and customs, and by Rosemary’s insight into the lives of women who are so often left out of history books.

Following the talk, Rosemary and David joined members for tea, cake, and conversation, answering questions and discussing the research that inspired her work. Many took the opportunity to browse and purchase signed copies of her books.

WI member Christine Fazackerley thanked Rosemary and David for a most enjoyable and thought-provoking evening, praising Rosemary’s ability to bring history to life in such an engaging and memorable way. The meeting closed with enthusiastic applause and much appreciation for an evening that left everyone feeling both informed and inspired.
