Join local author Lesley Sainty as she speaks about her novel “Taking the Waters” followed by a Regency themed afternoon tea in the kitchen
If you loved Bridgerton, escape to Regency Cheltenham and discover the town’s unexplored history in Taking the Waters, a new historical novel by local author, Lesley Sainty.
Delve into Cheltenham’s fascinating Regency past, which takes centre stage in a new historical novel by resident author, Lesley Sainty.
First published in November 2020, Lesley’s debut novel, Taking the Waters was inspired by her passion for Cheltenham’s rich – and largely unexplored – history and untold stories.
The novel is set in 1827 at the height of its Regency boom and the peak of its popularity among wealthy visitors, who would flock to Gloucestershire for the spa town’s pleasures and healing spring waters.
Based on real events, places and characters, Taking the Waters tells the story of Alice Elliot, an unmarried glove trade heiress, who arrives in Cheltenham to find herself caught between two powerful men.
Alice catches the eye of the formidable Reverend Francis Cole, who seeks a wealthy partner to further his philanthropic aims; as well as the aristocratic rogue, Colonel Buckley, who represents pleasure and excess – everything the reverend hates.
Refreshments and entrance to the Museum are included.
