I just would like to know if Marion Colthorpe is male or female;
is he/she is still alive; during what period was Colthorpe in Cambridge;
Was Colthorpe associated with one of Cambridge University’s libraries? Any knowledge how to conctact Colthorpe?

Thank you for your enquiry. Marion Colthorpe has written two books which were published in 1977 “Royal Cambridge” and “Queen Elizabeth I and Harlow”. She is also the author of “Libraries in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, 1985″. I will send you an email with possible contact details.
