The design shows Mary after her release from prison, a couple of days before her death on Christmas Day 1910. She wears the Votes for Women sash and the Hunger Striker’s medal. She is carrying copies of the suffragette newspaper Votes for Women that she regularly sold in Brighton and Hove. It is the November 1910 edition which reports on the terrible events of Black Friday, when she and many other women were injured by police violence outside Parliament. Three women died as a result of that violence, of which she was the first.

It is with huge sadness that we announce the very sudden death of Matthew Gallagher on 29th December, aged 46. Matthew was a director of Bowley and Gallagher Funeral Directors, Preston Road. Along with Paul Bowley he brought a refreshing and different insight into how he thought the modern day funeral directors premises should look and feel. He has certainly left his mark within this family business with our bright modern office, using colour and furnishings that compliment the building and company use.

After leaving Brighton we will travel to Speldhurst near Tonbridge to see St Mary’s Church. This is at least the 3rd church built on the same site and contains a complete set of stain glass windows designed by the famous pre-Raphaelite artists Burne Jones and William Morris. For those who have been to see St Michael’s in Brighton you would be familiar with their and other pre-Raphaelite artist’s work. We will have a conducted tour by one of the church’s members. Hopefully we will be able to get a coffee in the George and Dragon pub opposite the Church and then we will have lunch at the Wheatshief at Bough Beech near Hever Castle. The pub dates back to Tudor times but was updated in the Georgian period.

We check through proposals and budgets and campaign for action if we feel older people are being treated unfairly. We also act similarly with health and care issues in the city.
