Thank you, Cheryl 

Alan (94) passed away on Sunday 12 April

For the first Parwich History Society talk this year, we’re pleased to welcome Gay Evans who will be talking about Murder in 19^th Century Derbyshire and featuring the “Parwich Poisoner”.

Gay has researched her ancestors who were in the village from 1690 through to the mid 1800s. 

The talk will be held in the British Legion on Tuesday 28^th April from 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome.

History Society meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month in the British Legion. 

Based on a true story by the naturalist, Helen McDonald, the film explores how when Helen’s father passes away, she is knocked sideways by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to her life as an academic at Cambridge University.

Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. But as she labours to tame Mabel, a grieving Helen undergoes an untaming of her own. A record of a spiritual journey, H IS FOR HAWK is a story about memory and nature and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love. Starring Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson.

Friday APRIL 24th 7.45PM
