Welcome
Hi and welcome to my website. On it you can read information about me, my writing and my interests. I hope you find something that engages you for a moment or two. You can message me if you press the Contact button and I shall try to respond as quickly as I can.
The About section tells you a bit about my life and background and the Family History section is for those also bearing the name Killingworth (or variants of it) who wish to share genealogical links and find out what other Killingworths are doing or have done. We are quite a rare breed, so most people with the name are likely to be related, albeit very remotely.
Upcoming sections
In the News section, I shall keep you updated about my own current activities and also draw your attention to events/information I think you might enjoy.
The Blog, which I hope to write once a week, will contain musings about anything that takes my fancy. I invite reactions to it.
About
I am quite ancient and, as I say on the back cover of one of my books, I was born at a time when children were quite happy to play with a piece of string and an apple core and didn’t need all the electronic stimulation available to them nowadays.
I currently live amongst the chalky downs of Dorset, but I consider myself an East Anglian at root because I grew up in a small village just outside Peterborough. In those long-distant, gold-tinged days, there existed a county called Huntingdonshire, and, as an erstwhile native of that tiny shire, I still proudly wear its tie. Oliver Cromwell was born in the county. Katherine of Aragon died there, T S Eliot drew inspiration from a chapel at Little Gidding and Lucy Boston set her Green Knowe books in her own home, the beautiful medieval manor house at Hemingford Grey. Interesting company, don’t you think?
