About Sue Pengelly

Sue has long had a fascination for the ingenuity and resilience of the underdog, the working class poor and those marginalised in society.

She says, "Some of them are my ancestors and if they hadn't kept going in brutal times, I wouldn't be here. These people deserve to be remembered."

This fascination led her to dive into historical research, focussed on her home town of Barnstaple in North Devon. As a result she began hosting very popular Haunted History tours of Barnstaple (book through The Plough Arts Centre) and nearby towns and villages, which have now been running for fourteen years.

"The tours began because I was tired of reading about the wealthy element," she says. "I wanted to know how the poor lived and survived, the crimes, the prostitutes ... you know, the really interesting people! I was of the opinion that if they were that reviled in the press, they must have been interesting. And so it proved.

Some of her historical information comes from oral histories. "I'm very lucky to be trusted with snippets of other people's family history which sends me on more research.

"I've met some fascinating people including those who've shared their and their family members' experiences of working in prostitution ... but not as you know it, their antics and money making ideas."
