Every year, on a Sunday close to what would have been Elizabeth Gaskell’s birthday, we lay flowers on Elizabeth Gaskell’s grave (10.45am) at Brook Street Chapel in Knutsford.
We also lay flowers on the nearby grave of the Gaskell Society’s founder, the much-missed Joan Leach. We then go into the chapel for a special service, with readings from Gaskell’s works, from 11am. Our theme this year is friendship.
You are most welcome to join us.
