An Evensong for Anne Shakespeare.

Sunday 9th August, 5.00 p.m.

The Friends of Shakespeare's Church invite you to a service of Evensong in commemoration of Anne Shakespeare, who was buried next to her husband, William Shakespeare, on this date in 1623. A specially-sourced choir, conducted by Paul Trepte (Director of Music Emeritus at Ely Cathedral), will sing the service, with responses by William Byrd (who died the same year as Anne).  There will be an Anne Shakespeare themed sermon - the fourth of its kind - given by guest preacher, Dr Elizabeth Hardy. Refreshments available. Please tell your friends.
