John Ashdown-Hill, responsible for Branch and Group Liaison of the Richard III Society, informed us that the annual commemoration of Richard III’s and Anne Neville’s niece, Blessed Margaret Pole (Margaret of Clarence, Countess of Salisbury), will this year be held in the chapel of Farleigh Hungerford Castle, Somerset at 6 pm on Saturday 29 May.

He also told us that a film has been made about Margaret’s life.  The DVD runs for 30 minutes and is priced at £9.99.  It is called BLESSED MARGARET POLE and is available from a Catholic film company, Mary’s Dowry Productions.  So far we haven’t heard from any one who has seen this film, but it certainly sounds interesting.  For more information and a preview of the film click here.
