The eighth and final story of this podcast series about my grandmothers and six of my great-grandmothers. This week we’re back in England, in the north-west, in the 1600s. After the English Civil War, religious dissent is on the rise and Jennet Greenhow, my tenth maternal great-grandmother is caught up in the rise of early Quakerism.

You can now listen to this podcast series on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and Audible.
