Rita was one of the first five writers and researchers of the Local History Group of Lacey Green and Loosley Row.
RROFILE. Taken from the Local History Website.
Rita was born in Ealing, West London and moved to Buckinghamshire with her parents in 1956. They were jokingly told then that 50 years would have to expire before being accepted as 'locals': that 'apprenticeship' has now been served!
OCCUPATION AND INTERESTS. From schooldays in London, Rita always had a very keen interest in history, which eventually progressed to genealogy. With more spare time on retirement after 25 years as secretary for the Thames Valley Police at Aylesbury, family history became almost a full-time occupation.
LOCAL HISTORY. Since being invited to join the Lacey Green History Group, this has been further extended to include local history.
RITA enjoys living in Buckinghamshire, the countryside in general and is also a member of the local walking club.
