Colourful poet Martin Newell entertained an audience at the Essex Rose 16th century Tea House in Dedham on Friday 28th March at 7.30 p.m.  Martin’s passion for Essex is reflected in many of his poems and his newspaper articles. 

As a sponsor of the Essex Book Festival Wilkin & Sons were delighted to host this splendid evening at The Essex Rose Tea House.
