Written by Marjorie Sargeant, the book chronicles life in Woodhall Spa in the year 1914 and complements her previous book, which focused on life in 1910.

The book is entitled ‘Portrait of a Village 1914: letters from Woodhall Spa’ and Marjorie will be present to sign books during the coffee morning.
