The Dickens Fellowship Raffle

The Rochester and Chatham Dickens Fellowship has been donated a  valuable picture of Dickens from Frasers Autographs, a branch of Stanley Gibbons of stamp fame, in the Strand, London. This contains a cartouche with a strand of Dickens' hair, authenticated as coming from a lock of hair from the estate of Dickens'  sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth.

The Fellowship decided to hold a raffle for this exceptional piece of memorabilia, and issued  tickets at £5 each to raise funds for the chalet restoration fund.

The draw took place on Sunday, 2 December 2012 during the Dickensian Christmas Festival at Eastgate House, Rochester. We will bring you the latest updates on our News page.
