The Wise Woman
welcomes you to her web site!
Hello, my name is Jayne Milner, I am a Historical Re-Enactor, Demonstrator
and I am a Qualified Clinical Herbalist, I have been hired to give lectures and informal talks on
the History of Medicine to members of public, for fund raising, for private Groups and for historical
events all over the country for the last 15 years and in that time, I am
proud to have provided clients who have booked me in the past, with good quality, interesting and
relative information on historical medicine. I pride myself in the way I entertain my audience, and if
nothing else like to challenge and de-bunk some of those myths we have about history and what relationship we have
today with our ancestors.
I also have at my disposal, enough replica items to cover two six foot
table tops, with all manner of things for people to look at and for me to lecture on - with the smell and items being quite
tactile, they are also very apropriate for sight impared. I lecture not only on the History of Medicine but, Women's
roles in society, the Persecutions, Medieval Mind-set on Health, Leechcraft and Herblore and I specialise in Kitchen Cabinet
Medicine (so people can go and play at home)
