To be held in the Fitzwilliams Centre next to the Church. 2.15 p.m. for 2.30 p.m. start. In the 30 years before WW1, William Grenfell, Lord Desborough, and his wife Ethel entertained elite friends at Taplow Court. This “interesting group of clever men and pretty women [was] known as 'The Souls'. No section of London Society was better worth frequenting, including as it did all that was most intellectually amusing and least "conventional". Despite the heady Edwardian heights of being "bent on pleasure of a superior kind, looking for their excitement in romance and sentiment", how could the story end sadly for many of The Souls?Nigel Smales is well known locally for his talks. He is also an author of "Taplow Moments" - a history of Taplow and "When your Smiler" an account of his father's time during WW2 in the Army Film and Photographic Unit.
