Patrick Sherring
Jane and Ann all arrived in full Tudor costume to talk about the Doddinghust Stonley festival. Jane as Lady Katherine Grey, sister of Lady Jane Grey and someone detested by Elizabeth 1st. She was planning to hide at Ingatestone Hall. Ann was dress as a warrener, someone whose task was to catch and skin rabbits ready to be cooked. Along with over dozen other re-enactors, they will be at the Doddinghust Stonley festival over the weekend. Richard Stonley was a Doddinghurst resident who kept a diary between 1581-1598. They came to the studio from Doddinghurst Infants school, where all the children were dressed as Tudors. Doddinghust Juniors had a Tudor day earlier in the week. The festival includes a hog roast in the church on Saturday evening, a Sunday afternoon performance of ‘The two gentlemen of Doddinghurst’ and a celebration service in the church on Sunday evening. Ann said that the whole village get involved with the festival.
