I am available to speak at your local history, church and general interest groups. Please contact me at gillianwarson@lineone.net. I offer talks and illustrated lectures on all aspects of hymnody. They are richly illustrated using an interesting variety of source material including pictures, recordings, readings from newspapers, novels and diaries and I will demonstrate some of the musical examples on the piano or violin. Here is a list of suggested titles which may be of interest to you:

  • Hymn singing at Sunday School and at Home.
  • The living tradition of hymn singing.
  • Hymn singing in Oxfordshire.
  • The life and work of Sid Hedges.
  • Flora Thompson and the Fewcott Part Book.
  • Hymns for a Pioneer Child - An illustrated lecture on the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
  • The development of hymn singing as it is represented in English Literature.
