    Doris E Coates

    Doris E. Coates was born in Eyam in 1908. Remarkably, from a very basic education at the village school, she achieved entry to Goldsmith's College, University of London, and achieved a First Class qualification. After a lifetime of teaching in Derbyshire and Norfolk, Doris turned to writing. Her first book, Tuppenny Rice and Treacle, also recalled her Derbyshire roots. Later books explored the history of Stoke Ferry and its neighbouring villages in west Norfolk. Doris died in 1998.
