Jane Roberts
The presentation is based around Jane’s one place study into the Catholic parish of St Mary of the Angels, with a focus on its early history and the period up to the 1880s. It investigates what a one place study is, explains the background to choosing this particular study, and continues to summarise her findings. These include the Irish migration angle, how the migrants were received locally, and the building of the church. This is all reported with a focus on ordinary parishioners.
