I didn’t know about the Melford Hall/Beatrix Potter connection, but it surprised me to find that she lived until 1943. I’d rather foolishly compartmentalised her as late Victorian/Edwardian. And thank you for posting about Holy Trinity, Shelly. I visited this wonderful church a few years ago on a tour of medieval East Anglia, and it was a high spot.
1866-1943 is such an interesting life span because it really does take her from the Victorian age, through WW1 and beyond. The books are mostly 1900 to WW1 so I think it's understandable to mentally file her in that bracket.

Thanks for the reminder about the new Jimmy Perez. Have just checked and it’s available in my local library.
Enjoy!
Interesting as always, Shelley.
Thank you!
