Autorenporträt
Joanne Vigor-Mungovin's interest in Leicester-shire history has seen her spend almost twenty years researching her family tree, in the process discovering that she is related through her maternal line to great grandfathers who were Freemen of the Town of Leicester, and through her paternal line to Tom Norman, the showman who exhibited Joseph Merrick, This led to in-depth research into the Merrick and Potterton families, and life in Leicester at the time Joseph was growing up. For the past three years she has led guided tours around Leicester Cathedral, and has appeared on local East Midlands television, radio and in newspapers supporting the reinternment of King Richard III in Leicester. During the week of Richard III's reburial, she worked as part of the floral team responsible for the displays inside and outside the Cathedral assisting Royal Florist Rosemary Hughes. A registered technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council, Joanne now works as a Verger at the Cathedral Church of St. Martins in Leicester. This is her first book.
