Your presentation was most interesting and beautifully illustrated. The historical background was particularly well-received and some people told me afterwards that they intended to revisit Sissinghurst armed with that knowledge.

Thank you for a very interesting and informative evening on Thursday. I have received very positive feedback from members - some knew little or nothing about Romney Marsh and found it to be quite enlightening.

Sue Duckworth is an absolute gem! Sue guided us through Canterbury Cathedral & the Roman Museum & her knowledge was thorough & comprehensive, her personality delightful, and she was unflappable in our barrage of questions. Sue truly made the history come alive & we found her company to be utterly delightful - we would have been remiss to tour Canterbury without Sue's kind and thoughtful guidance - we highly recommend Sue Duckworth for those visiting glorious Canterbury & The Garden of England!

Sue came to talk to the Ladies Lunch Club at Ashford International Hotel. Her talk was on the Medieval Churches of Romney Marsh. The ladies thoroughly enjoyed the talk and found Sue to be a friendly and entertaining speaker. The talk was very informative with smuggling stories and also interesting tales about each of the churches origins. We are looking forward to having her back again for another talk in the near future!
