HI Kerravon, thoroughly enjoyed reading your entry.
Well done 
All the more interesting as I live "just up the road" at Spondon, and had never heard of Alice.
You live and learn!!

I don't think she's particularly well-known outside the village- she does pop up a few times in histories of the area, but usually only as a one or two sentence note. There was a spiral bound book published about the village- however it was a very limited run available only from the village paper shop! That's why I wrote the entry- I think it's an interesting piece of history, and I wanted it to be recorded somewhere accessible, before the Little Eaton Hermit was forgotten forever.

Now all I've got to do is wait and see if it gets through peer review

Of course, if it doesn't, you could always consider offering it to <./>The Post</.> as this sort of thing is just what its readers enjoy! 
It sounds as if you intend writing enough for a whole series.

Hi KerrAvon
interesting article, I thought it read well, should get edited for sure!
Now I'm off to read the reference to the ghosts, see you got my interest piqued, don't think you can have a better accolade to an article!
