Peg of Pex Hill

Peg of Pex Hill came about when I was asked to produce a few pieces of work for my creative writing group, Peg was one of the subjects.
I was told of the legend and after doing some research, became engrossed, My late husband and I spent many an hour in the reference library looking at ordnance survey maps, local history, pub names, coach time tables, receipts, and such like.
Peg was a local girl, it is said she had an affair with the squire's son, until he dismissed her out of hand. Why her story has remained a legend, when at the time it was not an unusual occurrence.
I felt she must have had something special about her, possibly more than a farmer's daughter...Who knows. I took on her story and wove around her, a personality, a background, a life......
I hope I have served her well in my quest to flesh out the bones of her life story
