Following our AGM – Growing up at Bishopscourt

Our speaker, Rev Clem Taplin is the youngest daughter of Sir Frank Woods, Archbishop of Melbourne from 1957 to 1977 and Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia 1970–77.  She will share her memories of a busy family life at Bishopscourt, quite separate from the more formal church-driven activities usually associated with this landmark house.
