News Release 3rd July 2005RUSSIA IN LICHFIELD?Michael Fabricant has been contacted by a researcher wanting to find out about the Russian community that apparently existed in Lichfield from the 1920s until about the 1970s. The request for help has come from Rosemary Enright (Rosemaryenright@AOL.com): She says "I am searching for any evidence of the Russian community which I'm sure existed in Lichfield between the 1920's and early 1970's along with a Russian Orthodox Church where the funeral service of an old school mistress of mine took place. "The community seems to have disappeared entirely along with the Church. The Public Library, the Heritage Centre and the Tourist Office in Lichfield all deny any knowledge of a Russian presence in Lichfield. I'd be grateful if you could throw any light the matter." Michael Fabricant says "If anyone does know anything about this unusual aspect of Lichfield's fairly recent history, they should contact Rosemary Enright direct at her email address: Rosemaryenright@AOL.com" |
