Friday's Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis 4th Sep 2020
Did you know?
Seamstress Sarah Cooper has a blue plaque on her home in Stutton. Not only did Sarah weave her magic face coverings to help the NHS, she sells fabric, makes curtains and blinds and was the editor of local Stutton magazine the Roundabout. Our famous Sarah should not be mixed up with her namesake in Oxford, who has a blue plague for first making marmalade.
