"The Interior of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton"

This section now sees the two articles about the Britannia Theatre of Hoxton, North London, brought into context and into their rightful places. The descendent lines from the families of those greasepaint laden Victorian days have taken much time and patient research to unpick and clarify. We have found a heady mix of high society and the performing arts along the way. We are also in communication with several of their descendents and further interesting tales have yet to be told.

There were several Craxford families living in London during the 1800s. We had very strong suspicions that they were well acquainted with, if not actually related to, one another. We have traced at least one family back to the main trunk in Northamptonshire. We feel it will only be a matter of time before the remaining links will become apparent.

In the mean time, please read on … and enjoy!!
