Join Alison Weir on Thursday 16th November as she shares with us the dramatic story of five Norman queens from her new book Queens of the Conquest. From Matilda of Flanders, who supported William the Conqueror in his invasion of England in 1066, to the turbulent Empress Maud who founded the Plantagenet dynasty as the mother of Henry II. Stripping away centuries of romantic mythology and delving beyond the prejudice and credulity in contemporary sources, Alison will reveal a more balanced and authentic picture of these extraordinary women.

Love, hate, ambition and tragedy all feature in this epic saga.

Tickets are ?10/?8. BOOK TICKETS HERE www.village-books.co.uk

This event is taking place in The Great Hall at Alleyns School Townley Rd, Dulwich SE22 8SU and begins at 7.30pm

  Don't think so, Elizabeth line stops there. Think you mean Drayton Green on the old Ealing Broadway to Greenford push/pull line. Anyway, it was least used station in London a couple of years ago, now it's Sudbury and Harrow.

  Anyone else noticing this hike on their annual premium? In the SE22 code. Tried all the usual platforms for a better quote (without luck)

  Don't do Instagram. Is this Geof Marshall? - a legend! Here is a link to his series on least used stations, West Drayton being the London one. If we went back in time Honor Oak on the old Crystal Palace high line was down to tens a day, and there was this bizarre extension to the Central Line that went to Ongar, at it's lowest point before closing down to 85 passengers a day.

  I think North Dulwich was named in relation to West Dulwich. When the North/East Dulwich line was opened, East Dulwich Station was called Champion Hill. The station was called Clapham Junction because Clapham was considered more upmarket than Battersea. Purely a marketing decision!
