Autor

Molly, aged 87, has had an unconventional life as recorded in her memoirs, Of Such Things. She grew up in war torn Bromley, was evacuated to the country to escape the flying bombs, and returned at the end of the war. She read History at Bedford College, then did a Postgraduate Diploma in Archive Administration and worked as an Archivist in the India Office Library where she made many Asian friends. Marriage, the arrival of children, and the purchase of a derelict oast-house, led to community activities. In 1972 she started lecturing, then taught in a secondary modern school in an Urban Priority Area, while doing a Master's Degree in Education. After thirteen years she left to become the Appeal Organiser for a hospice project, raising £1.5 million to build a hospice for Maidstone. Aged 60 she retired, and embarked on fund raising for mediaeval churches in Kent as well as organising many community and church activities. In 2019 she was awarded a BEM in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
