Eynesbury Junior School, Montagu St, Eynesbury, Saint Neots PE19 2TD
What sort of alternative medicines did people rely upon before the introduction of the NHS in 1948? And what sort of medicines and cures were available from local folk healers? This talk looks at the remedies many people used at that time including the story of St Neots road sweeper, antique dealer and local folk medicine expert Alfred ‘Doc’ Rowlett.
