Archive Caroline Morris The Mercian Enactment Society Performed at Penlee Park Saturday 23rd September
Carrying a bag bearing her organisations name: ‘The Mercian Re-enactment Society’, Caroline took visitors from Penlee House to Chapel Street, the oldest street in Penzance, informally exchanging anecdotes on the way.
Her performance proper started outside one of the oldest houses in Penzance which is, reputedly, haunted. Caroline told the story of Mrs Baines who, so it is said, was shot by accident in her orchard there many years ago.
She drew her audience into the tale, which wove the kind of eerie spell that only ghost stories can, such that for several minutes afterwards we continued to be aware of its bewitching charm.
At the end of the walk Caroline gave us mementoes: a badge and an apple with an especially made label recalling the event.
