Local historian and author Roy Peacock was this evening the guest speaker at the Friends of Worcestershire Records Office meeting at County Hall, Spetchley. Roy gave an interesting talk on the early history of the Foley dynasty, the main theme of his latest publication, "The Seventeenth Century Foley's - Iron, Wealth and Vision, 1580 - 1716". This book has already gained a very favourable reputation amongst local history enthusiasts in Worcestershire, being very readable and also well researched and presented; a highly recommended item for your bookshelf. Many thanks go to Roy for his time and effort which was most appreciated by the twenty-odd attendees to the meeting. Also thanks to the committee for organising the event and especially to Peter Walker for the refreshments. Mrs. B graced us with her presence, as did Angela Snow and her friend Rachel.
