An Evening with Sarah Emsley, Writer and Editor

In celebration of the 275th anniversary of St. Paul’s Church, the oldest building in Halifax, Sarah Emsley will delve into its fascinating history. She will highlight the church’s ties to the Royal Family, its connection to Government House, and its role in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster. Additionally, Emsley will explore the lesser-known link to Jane Austen’s family, as her brother Charles Austen served as a naval officer in Halifax during the early 19th century.
