GEF Birthday Luncheon 2023

This is the annual meal to commemorate the birthday of George Eliot. The first one took place in 1930 and apart from the war years and 2020 it has been held every year since. Weston Hall is a distinguished looking Jacobean building, once home to the local aristocracy.

Our guest of honour this year will be Sheila Woolf.  Sheila is a long-standing member of the George Eliot Fellowship, former Head of English at King Henry Vlll school in Coventry. She is a guide and lecturer at Stoneleigh Abbey and author of several books on Stoneleigh and its residents, as well as others on significant local figures and a Young Person’s book on Coventry.

In 2020 Sheila gave a wonderful address at  our Covid-restricted wreath-laying, when her humour and warmth cheered us all. The picture on the right was taken at that event.
