This month Buckinghamshire Archives' Katherine Gwyn is in conversation with journalist and author Wendy Moore.

Wendy is the author of Endell Street, a history of the eponymous ground-breaking military hospital in London, open during the Great War, which was staffed and run almost entirely by women.  Wendy tells us about the two women who ran the hospital: Dr Flora Murray and Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson, and their connections to Penn in Bucks.  

Wendy's book Endell Street is available in hardback from:
