Remembering Sarah Siddons

Before there was Adele or Dolly Parton or Taylor Swift there was Sarah Siddons. As a stage actress in the late Eighteenth Century many regard Sarah Siddons as having started global celebrity culture for people in the entertainment industry.

Just down the road from where I was born the Seventeenth Century house still stands where Sarah Siddons grew up. She was born in Wales but Lydbrook is where she grew up.

I think I was baptized in this former church. It looks like it's now a day care.
