Mary Fitton - Tony Bostock will relate the story of the life and loves of an Elizabethan Maid of Honour. Mary was born and grew up in Gawsworth Hall, a place many will be familiar with. She became one of Queen Elizabeth’s favourites. As a young lady she was very popular at court and had a number of affairs, bore a few illegitimate children, married twice and had further children. She may have had an affair with William Shakespeare. Was she the “Dark Lady” of his sonnets?
