Muriel stars as a real Dame

I would like to draw attention to a wonderful piece in the Oldham Evening Chronicle on January 4th 2011. Dame Muriel Taylor GCStG, Commander of The Commandery of the Duchy Of Lancaster and Director of Charitable Affairs of the Grand Priory of the United Kingdom gives an interview explaining the work of the Order, its historical context and specific charitable projects being run in Northern England.

It is also a proud duty to announce that a further £300 has been raised for the charity "The Children of Watamu" (by the Duchy of Lancaster Commandery), and they plan to hand over a cheque for £1,000 at a forthcoming event in February.  

"There is nothing like a dame” goes the famous song, and Oldham has its own in former councillor Muriel Taylor), now a Dame Grand Cross of the Knightly Order Valiant of St George.
