edit data

Lorna was born and brought up in Lincolnshire. Her Canadian mother would often talk about growing up on Vancouver Island in the 1930s, and the family’s early history there. This sparked an interest for Lorna that continues to this day. After raising a family Lorna studied and taught history at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. She now lives in Stamford in a very old house with stone walls and lots of beams.
