at Claydon
Sir Harry Verney , D.S.O., tells Paul Humphreys about his boyhood in his Buckinghamshire home and of Florence Nightin gale who was then living there Florence Nightingale 's connection with Claydon came about through the marriage of her sister, Parthenope, to Sir Harry Verney 's grandfather.

A prose reading from
' The Common Reader ' by VIRGINIA WOOLF
Reader, Hugh Burden
The Rev. John Skinner was bom in 1772 and died in 1839, leaving three iron chests containing his diary in ninety-eight volumes of manuscript. ' He stands, dressed in the prosaic and unbecoming stocks and pantaloons of the early nineteenth century, at the parting of the ways.'
