    Kingsley Hall and the Lester Archive (available to the public at Bishopsgate Library https://www.bishopsgate.org.uk/content.aspx?CategoryID=1750 ) 1. Muriel Lester (1883-1968) Muriel and her sister Doris moved to Bow in 1908. From the late 1920s onwards, while Doris held the fort in Bow and later Dagenham, Muriel spent most of her time abroad, campaigning for peace as Travelling Secretary for the International Fellowship of Reconciliation. 2. Muriel and Doris Lester in Retirement For the last years of their lives the sisters lived in Loughton. Their home on the edge of Epping Forest, which they called Kingsley Cottage, has a local blue plaque commemorating the sisters. 3. Kingsley Lester 1877-1914 Kingsley was Muriel and Doris’s younger brother. He moved to Bow to join his sisters in their work but died in Muriel’s arms in1914 after an operation. With financial help from their father, the sisters bought a disused chapel as a base for their activities. It was named Kingsley Hall as a memorial to him. 4. Brick-laying Ceremony at the New Kingsley Hall, July 14th, 1927 As Kingsley Hall’s work expanded, funds were raised for new buildings. The present Kingsley Hall building and Children’s House nursery school (1923) were designed by Charles Cowles-Voysey, as was the nursery school at Kingsley Hall Dagenham. In the ceremony shown here, bricks were laid by famous supporters to represent the ideals of Kingsley Hall.

  • Key to London Map of Days
    A London Map of Days This is the key to the daily details that feature on my etching A London Map of Days. I posted these every day on both Facebook and Twitter from the 9 February 2015 through to 8 February 2016. As the project continued, I began to enjoy myself and treat it more like a blog and so there is a marked difference between the amount of detail I have included at the beginning and the end of that year. 1 January 1660 Samuel Pepys begins writing his famous diary. He started the diary when he was only 26 years old and kept it for 10 years. He was a naval administrator and even though he had no maritime experience, he rose by a combination of hard work, patronage and talent for administration to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under King Charles II and King James II. His diary, which was not published until the 19th century was written in a cryptic, personal shorthand and the first person to fully transcribe it, did so without the benefit of the key. It was not until 1970 that an unabridged version was published as previous editions had omitted passages deemed too obscene to print, usually involving Pepys sexual exploits. The diary combines personal anecdotes (often centred around drinking) with eyewitness accounts of great events such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London. It is a glorious work and was a constant source of inspiration for my map. Daily detail from A London Map of Days.
