Had They But Known Her is a work of historical fiction by for-mer resident of Newcastle Judy Clapperton about the life of Olive Wilmot. Judy corrects the false information that Olive was reviled as a loose woman and depicted as the ‘prostitute’ Mary Magdalene in the magnificent Tiffany stained glass window in the chancel of St. George’s Anglican Church, in Newcastle.
Dr. James Breech is a New Testament scholar and will talk about the Tiffany window.
They will be giving a talk on Olive Wilmot and Mary Magdalene at the Newcastle Community Hall at 7:00 p.m. on October 16. Admission is free but donations to the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society would be appreciated.
